New Executive Director for TAC!

ANNOUNCEMENT:  NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR TAC

 

After a job search and application/interview process, the TAC Board of Directors is pleased to announce the selection of Cheryl Connors to the role of Executive Director as of September 1, 2023. Cheryl will run the affairs of the Association from her home office in Caledon, Ontario. She will be overlapping with Kate for orientation during September and the office location will be transitioned during this time.

Cheryl has an extensive healthcare association management background, with over 30 years’ experience. She specializes in education program development, financial and event management, marketing/ communications, public relations, strategic planning, fundraising, and government relations. Cheryl has also worked as the executive director of several professional and trade associations, including the Canadian Network for Respiratory Care, the Canadian Association for Quality Assurance in Healthcare and the Canadian Market Research Association. Cheryl also worked as a Strategic Communications Planner with the Ontario government. Cheryl has an Honours BA in Political Science as well as certificates in Marketing and Public Relations. She is a long-time member of the Canadian Association of Association Executives. At the Canadian Network for Respiratory Care, Cheryl created a training and certification program for healthcare professionals in smoking cessation. She was successful in securing a million dollar grant from the Public Health Agency of Canada and securing partnerships with Alberta Health Services and the Centre for Addiction & Mental Health (CAMH) to develop and deliver a very successful education and certification smoking cessation program.

At this time, the Board of TAC would like to thank Kate Mahon for her past nine (9) years of service. Kate was the first Executive Director for TAC starting in 2013. She has strengthened the business model and the governance structure of TAC during her tenure and been an ambassador for the Association. She will be greatly missed by all the TAC family, and we wish her all the best in her retirement plans. Kate’s last day with TAC will be September 30th.

Andrew Beckett CD MD MSc FRCSC FACS
TAC President
