Dear ILEA Toronto members and colleagues!

I am excited to be working with Julie Brunjes, Michael Hooper, and Daniel Wilson as your ILEA Toronto Board of Directors for the upcoming year!

We all know that recent times have been challenging for the Chapter in the areas of finance, programming, and membership. At the same time, adversity and disruption can lead to opportunity, and I believe our Chapter is poised to evolve.

As a Board, we’ll take time to listen and learn, and we’ll seek your engagement in the process. : Together, we’ll redefine our strategic intent to ensure you have avenues for networking, professional development, lead generation, and creating community impact.

I look forward to writing the next chapter of ILEA Toronto’s legacy in partnership with you — a legacy of engagement, inspiration, and elevation.

We look forward to connecting soon.

Regards,
Rawle Borel Jr
President
