We are focused on offering education and timely information about pensions, benefits and related investments. New members of Council are elected each spring. All members are expected to attend each Council meeting. The schedule is determined at the first meeting of the council year to help avoid scheduling conflicts. In addition, each Council member will sit on one of the working committees.

Working Committees

1. Program Committee
This team designs, promotes and executes three signature breakfast seminars:
• Investment Trends
• Benefits Outlook
• Pension Summit
The Program Committee’s goal is to deliver interesting and topical presentations to the community, while at the same time ensuring they are financially viable. Typically, the Committee meets in May or early June to develop the content for each of the Signature seminars, determine dates and content of any other ad hoc seminars proposed.

2. 2016 Regional Conference Committee

There was a conference in 1998 in Kitchener, 2000 in Ottawa, 2002 in London, 2004 it was held in Toronto and the 2006 conference was held at Deerhurst Resort. In 2007, the Council voted to move the conference to an annual event. The 2015 conference will be held at the Hilton Toronto, October 28-29, 2015. The 2016 Conference Committee will begin working on that event immediately following this year’s conference.
