President's Message

Restoring confidence in the capital markets has been at the top of many agendas these last few years, but few have had it effect their lives as much as the IR professional. New regulations, increasingly stringent enforcement with the addition of civil liability and the emphasis on improved disclosure practices have combined to radically alter the landscape for all of us in the IR field. CIRI-Ontario is working to help you stay on top of the latest rules, practices and trends in our continually changing environment.

I would like to draw your attention to some of the benefits of a CIRI Ontario chapter affiliation.

Did you know that:

• CIRI Ontario organizes a series of professional development seminars and workshops focusing on the practical needs of all of us involved in investor relations. As a CIRI Ontario member, you benefit from a 30 to 40% discount on all event fees.
• CIRI Ontario offers an extensive program of events, designed to address those topics of particular interest to its members. These events have been attracting large audiences and offer great networking opportunities.
• CIRI Ontario offers a Mentoring Program to its members, pairing experienced members (mentors) with other members (protgs) who have specific career development goals they want to achieve.
• Free - webcasts of CIRI Ontario Luncheon and Breakfast events

All these benefits and more for only $95 (plus tax) per year!

We invite and encourage you to include Ontario Chapter membership fees when you join CIRI or when you renew your membership. And please let me know if you too would like to be part of the team that brings all this to CIRI Ontario members.

Sincerely,

Jerry Ormiston
President
CIRI Ontario
On behalf of the Board of CIRI Ontario
