Join the TECHNATION’s National Board of Directors on June 23 for the Annual General Meeting (AGM), where we will discuss the ongoing success on behalf of our members. Following the AGM will be a dynamic roundtable discussion with experienced C-suite level female leaders. Grab a beverage of your choice and get updated on current TECHNATION activities from National Board Chair Kevin Peesker, President, Microsoft Canada, including financials, the appointment of new directors, and an overview of the year from Angela Mondou, President & CEO of TECHNATION.
