We are confident that Sophie’s leadership will inspire continued growth and innovation for the Association, while ensuring we deliver meaningful value to our members.
On behalf of CAC’s Board of Directors, Governance Committees, and membership, we extend our sincere thanks to Kim Cunningham for her passion, leadership, and dedication in advancing the CAC’s mission over the past several years as Chair, and previously as an active Board member.

We wish her every success in her future endeavours as she departs Mother Parker’s.
