Message from the Chapter Chair

Hello there!

My name is Anastasia, I'm your Chapter Chair, and I'm pleased to make your acquaintance. I'm proud and humbled to have been nominated and elected for this position during the 2026 Annual Chapter Meeting. Coming into this role as the Chapter's previous Treasurer, I hope to bring the value of long-term planning and strategic vision. I've been volunteering with the Toronto Central Chapter since 2024, and dare I say that it's the best OACETT chapter for how hardworking, committed, and inspiring its members are.

When I was elected in March of 2026, I saw an opportunity to build on our outreach to colleges and professional organizations, which remained a priority ever since. Our amazing College Liaisons Karen Craigs, C.E.T., and Alex Zebadua make strides toward strengthening our relationship with students from local colleges, while our Vice-Chair Paul Manna, C.E.T. works tirelessly to establish meaningful connections within the corporate world.

But wait, there's more. As important the college and corporate outreach is to us, we value social time, too. We understand that the Chapter comprises professionals of different levels and backgrounds, so we want to facilitate networking opportunities that are right for you. From casual get-togethers to more formal events, we'd like to build a community where you feel supported.

My gratitude goes to all the wonderful Chapter Executives and Volunteers who make this organization strong. If you as a person reading it ever feel an itch to get out there and apply yourself to something new, we'd be pleased if you considered Toronto Central Chapter as your choice. Whether you feel passionate about our causes or want to bring something new to the table - take a seat and chat with us.

Thank you for your engagement with the Chapter, and I hope you have a wonderful day to yourself!

Anastasia Piskunova, C.E.T.
