MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

We recently held our Annual General Meeting (AGM). I’d like to thank all those who participated, ensuring we had quorum and passing all the Motions needed for CAHR to embark on another successful year!

I’d like to thank the directors from the 2023 - 2024 Board for their support and hard work. We have a strong Board in place and CAHR is on course for another year of excellent education and networking opportunities! To that end, I’d like to introduce the 2024-2025 Board, most of whom are returning as incumbents or have been re-elected to another three-year term. I’d also like to extend a warm welcome to our newest board member, Virginie Giroux, Director, Patient Access & HEOR, Merck. We are delighted to have her join us!
