Report: 2015 JETAA Canada National Conference
Toronto is lucky to have a robust JETAA chapter with genki and dedicated executive members who work hard to make JETAA Toronto one of the most active chapters in North America. There are few things we value more, though, than the opportunity to get together with representatives from the other Canadian chapters at the JETAA Canada National Conference. Every year our delegates at the Canada Conference learn a great deal from other chapters, returning with a wealth of innovation for JETAA activities and programs.
That is the real value of the annual JETAA national conference: the way it provides a forum for the various chapters to share ideas and activities, which results in broadening everyone’s perspectives on how to best support our particular chapter.
