President's Message

Dear Hamilton and District Chapter Members,
My name is Vanessa Ingraham, and I’m honoured to introduce myself as your new Hamilton and District Chapter President!

I’m incredibly excited to take on this role and to work alongside our dedicated and passionate Board of Directors. Together, we are committed to growing our chapter, strengthening our community, and continuing to provide valuable opportunities for learning, connection, and professional development.

Our new board was elected at the AGM held in April and we look forward to connecting with the Chapter members. 

This is your chapter, and we want to hear from you. What topics are you passionate about? What kind of events would you find most beneficial? There are no bad ideas—we truly value your input and suggestions as we shape the year ahead.

We have some exciting events in the works for the upcoming session, which will take place both online and in  person. We will be holding our 2025-2026 meetings at the Holiday Inn in Burlington and look forward to seeing everyone there!

The Hamilton and District Chapter is a strong and vibrant community, and with your involvement and feedback, I know we can make this year even more impactful than the last.
Wishing you a safe, fun, and restful summer—I look forward to meeting many of you in September at our first official kick-off event of the fiscal year!

Warm regards,
Vanessa Ingraham, CCP
President, Hamilton and District Chapter
