CASEM is saying goodbye this week to Helen Haworth, our Manager of CPD. Helen has been a huge part of the CASEM family for many years, initially as a volunteer and as then as a full-time valued staff member. Helen has been instrumental in the development and growth of CASEM CPD programming over the last decade as she criss-crossed the country working with her CPD committee in the planning and delivery of our diverse SEM programming. She successfully led the team through the challenging pandemic years as CASEM moved over to full virtual program delivery delivering a first rate virtual series of programs in 2020 and 2021 followed by the successful pivot to hybrid this year including the Quebec 2022 CASEM Annual Meeting.

On behalf of the entire membership, its Board of Directors, the Chairs of Committees and the CPD Chair, we would like to sincerely thank Helen for her loyalty and commitment to CASEM and wish her every success in her new venture at the University of Ottawa Facuty of Medicine.
