In late February of each year, we hold our annual Deans and Directors’ meeting in Toronto ON. This meeting is a significant professional development opportunity for the leaders of our institutional membership to network and dialogue about continuing education issues and trends. To keep our conversations intimate and relevant, we invite the institutional membership holder (unit leader) to attend this meeting. The unit leader may invite the associate dean or director from within their unit. Alternatively, the university may select a second unit leader to participate (fee required)
