TORONTO, Dec. 03, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today marks the 70^th anniversary of Financial Executives International Canada (FEI Canada) as calculated from the signing of the first two Canadian Charters by their Hamilton and Quebec chapters on December 3, 1948.

What started 70 years ago as a few folks around a boardroom table, has now grown to a multi-faceted, all-industry, diverse and inclusive association with a membership of over 1600 senior financial executives across 11 chapters, everywhere from the Atlantic Provinces, to the bright lights of Vancouver, representing Canada’s largest and most influential companies.

For 70 years, FEI Canada has been the leading voice and informed choice of the senior financial executive, providing unparalleled CPD eligible networking events such as seminars, breakfasts, luncheons and dinners as well as thought leadership and exclusive industry insights for its members and all those who choose to attend their events, webinars and Annual Conference.

Looking forward, FEI Canada will continue its pursuit of advocacy by way of the Committee for Corporate Reporting (CCR) and the Issues and Policies Committee (IPAC), as well as numerous other Subcommittees. FEI Canada will also continue to give added value to their members through their nationally recognised research foundation, the Canadian Executives Research Foundation (CFERF) and will keep providing their members with the latest news through their bi-weekly e-newsletters.

Please come and celebrate with FEI Canada at their upcoming Annual Conference. Certain to be the highlight of the association’s calendar and celebratory year, this year’s record breaking conference in Blue Mountain, Ontario will bring together over 600 senior financial executives, who will converge for three days of thought leadership, advocacy, networking and social activities.
