We are launching the occasional update from the Association, with a few notes and tidbits for our members – we welcome your suggestions for any additional topics/ recommendations for inclusion in an upcoming message.

Volunteers for the 2025 CIRPA Virtual Conference

As you know, the 2025 CIRPA Annual Conference will be virtual-only – and it will be an opportunity to engage with colleagues more accessibly, without the constraints driven by travel and various budgetary pressures. We hope to take advantage of the format to find new ways to foster dialogue and professional development – bring your ideas!

We are looking for several members to join the planning Committee in various capacities, such as helping out with the call for proposals, communication materials or working behind-the-scenes to ensure technical sessions are working smoothly.

2024 Conference recordings

The conference recordings from the 2024 conference in Fredericton are currently available to attendees and will be available to all CIRPA paid members after December 20th. If you’re curious to hear what your colleagues presented/attended this year – and be inspired for 2025, have a look in our Member portal at the presentations and recordings from this year.

While you’re in the Member portal, check out the stimulating conversations taking place within the discussion forum – open to both regular and limited members. Members from post-secondary institutions also have access to a new neutral space on Product User Experience to share reviews and tips on products and services.

 

Happy Holidays!

On behalf of the CIRPA Board of Directors, I would like to wish you a happy and joyous holiday season, with plenty of good cheer with family and friends. We look forward to working with you/for you in 2025 and continuing to build the Canadian Institutional Research and Planning Association!

 

Kind regards,
Miranda Pearson,
President, Board of Directors,
