Jean Chrétien High Rez - Chair copyAs a part of our ongoing commitment to the professional development for the FI Community, our annual Spring Tune Up event is a chance for financial officers to come together, share a meal and hear from inspiring and informative speakers.

The 2017 Spring Tune Up, Your Path to Leadership, will be a full-day event for members (8:00AM – 4:00PM) on June 7 at the Shaw Centre in downtown Ottawa. It will give members of the FI Community the tools they need to take initiative, persevere within a leadership role and build the necessary skills they need to advance in their careers.

Our keynote speaker, The Right Honourable Jean Chrétien, Canada’s 20th Prime Minister (1993 – 2003), will bring insights from his accomplished career to discuss the universal themes that affect the world community. As a part of Spring Tune Up 2017, he will deliver an address that tackles the issues that impact the world and demonstrate how leaders can make a difference in their societies to ensure a better global future.

Prime Minister Chrétien will be followed by:

  • Jen Shirkani, expert in emotional intelligence;
  • David Coletto, CEO of Abacus Data and expert on millennials in the workplace;
  • A CFO panel on leadership with Johanne Bernard (Justice), Andrew Francis (Canadian Heritage), Mark Perlman (ESDC) and Arun Thangaraj (Global Affairs); and
  • A special announcement from the Office of the Comptroller General.
