President's Message

The global economic crisis and extreme capital market instability have created unique challenges for the IR professional. In these exceptional circumstances, it’s evermore important for the IR executive to be aware of capital market events and their impact on both his or her company and its investors.

Membership in CIRI Ontario will give you access to the broad and deep knowledge of your local IR community and the highly regarded professional development programs and speaker series offered by the Chapter. Through CIRI Ontario relationships and learning experiences, our members acquire the tools and insight to create and support an IR program that effectively communicates their company’s long-term investment merit while remaining sensitive to the more immediate investor issues of capital scarcity, economic weakness and heightened exposure to other risks. CIRI Ontario is focused on preparing members to recognize and address both the challenges and opportunities of today.

For the cost of $95 per year (plus tax), CIRI Ontario offers many valuable benefits to its members:

• 30-40% discounts on both practical and highly topical workshops, seminars, breakfasts, lunches and dinners hosted by CIRI Ontario
• Access to CIRI Ontario’s reinvigorated Mentoring Program which matches members with less than three years of experience with seasoned IR practitioners with the objective of helping protégés to achieve their long-term career goals
• Opportunity to build invaluable relationships with other CIRI Ontario members and Board members and be part of your local IR community
• Webcasts of CIRI Ontario lunches and breakfast events

Please let me know if you would like to join the dedicated team of IROs that deliver all of this to CIRI Ontario members.

I look forward to seeing you at our next CIRI Ontario event!

Sincerely,

Michelle Dodokin

President
CIRI Ontario
On behalf of the Board of CIRI Ontario
