Executive Director’s Perspectives
CANASA's first quarter of 2018 is flying by with exceptional turnout and
support coming from our Members at CANASA hosted events. Securing
quality speakers focusing on timely topics along with the opportunity to
network is a winning formula. Topics covered to date included
Communication Technology in Policing; Cyber Security and Cannabis in the
Workplace which explored the associated health and safety risks for
employers. Attendees all agree that these meetings are a “must attend”. I
encourage you to visit
www.canasa.org for upcoming events in your area.
The CANASA team continues to reach out to relevant and interesting
guest speakers across the country. Here are the highlights of upcoming
events:
