Message from the Chief Commander: New Executive Director

Message From The Chief

Feb 13, 2020

“It gives me great pleasure to report to you that the CPS-ECP Executive Committee has found a new National Executive Director, Mimma Spagnolo, who started 15 January 2020.  She is fluently trilingual (French, English and Italian) and has an extensive IT and management background.

Mimma has been an executive within a multinational professional services company for almost 20 years. She led teams that implemented large, complex, IT and process improvement initiatives.  Prior to this she was both a Regional Administrative Services Officer and a Local Administrative Services Officer with Citizenship and Immigration Canada for over 10 years. She was responsible and managed teams providing administrative requirements and working with federal and provincial departments as well as other stakeholders. In addition to all this,  she’s been volunteering for various organizations for 20+ years and continues to do so weekly at local charity.

I am certain that Mimma with her extensive experience will fit well into our National Office and expert leadership as we move forward into the next decade.”

Peter Bolton, Chief Commander

One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
