Testimonial

"A professional benefit that I gain from my membership on the Council is the ability to meet, network and share with a cross-section of Chief Financial Officers from a variety of public service environments. This is invaluable to me in my role as CFO for Veterans Affairs Canada, because it enables me to discuss a broad spectrum of current issues and challenges in the field of strategic financial management.”
