Tonight, I had the wonderful opportunity to attend the "Evening with the President" at Georgian’s Barrie Campus, connecting with President and CEO Kevin Weaver, industry leaders, alumni, and community partners.

​The night featured an engaging reception followed by a thought-provoking fireside chat and panel discussion moderated by Daniel Tisch (President and CEO of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce), alongside dynamic insights from Kevin Weaver and fellow panelists Eric Chassard (President and CEO of Bruce Power) and Sylvia Biffis (Director of Sales, Nottawasaga Resort & Conference Centre).

 

​We explored how our region is navigating change, shaping the workforce of tomorrow, and driving economic and social prosperity together. It was also an exclusive first look at Georgian's new report, From Insight to Impact, highlighting how collaboration fuels our collective future.

 

Kevin Weaver shared how essential the Chamber Network was in a future partnership that meant getting data from business back to post-secondary education sooner so quick change could be made to adapt and excel.

 

​Proud to be part of a network that continues to champion innovation, workforce development, and student success across our region! 🎓🤝

 

—Allan Lafontaine, Executive Director
