We are very pleased to have to have received the Pearl Award at AOII Leadership Institute for Alumnae Chapters meeting 90% of the Standards of Excellence. Thanks to all of you who have helped.

Amy Corkum has taken on the Vice President’s position for the Ottawa Alumnae Chapter. Cathy German, retiring as VP, will continue to be involved with the Alumnae Chapter, but have more time for travel.

In June, the Ottawa Alumnae Chapter presented a cheque for $500 to the Paul Menton Centre for students with disabilities, located at Carleton University. Gamma Chi Chapter President , Katelin Turcotte, joined MJ Jacobsen and Louise Archer in making the presentation. The goal of the centre is to “To foster equal access to the university experience for students with disabilities while maintaining academic standards through provision of academic accommodations and support services, in partnership with the Carleton community.” The Centre plans to put the contribution towards the purchase of a ‘Brailler’ to transcribe educational materials into Braille for students who are visually impaired.

 

 

AOII has a new Regional Structure! Kelly Manuel, Amy Corkum, Kerry Robillard, Louise Archer and MJ Jacobsen
travelled to New York City in May to attend North-East Weekend and learn more about the structure and meet
the ‘Team’. Groups in the North East include Chapters in Ottawa, Montreal, Maine, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut,
Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts . . . This is a positive change and will facilitate chapter events at
a ‘Regional’ level.
Our new Regional Team includes Amber Williams Countis ’94, our Network Director, and Koren Phillips, our Network
Specialist. It was a pleasure to meet these women at the North-East Regional Weekend!
