Defining
Moments
Formed in October 1992, the Toronto Chapter is one of the largest, longest running
and most dynamic chapters in ACP International. As a result of the efforts from
a core group of passionate and visionary career professionals, Toronto became
an influential contributor to the development of professional standards, competencies
and ethics of the career services industry largely in the private sector.
The first President of ACP International, Toronto Chapter was Dick Cappon
and the other "influential leaders" that formed the core of the initial group included
Becky Jones, Catherine Mossop and Nelson Cusitar, all prominent and successful
business owners in Toronto's career services community.
In 1997, the Toronto Chapter reinvented itself to include a diverse group
that worked for career management firms, corporate career centres and independent
businesses in both the private and public sector. Three successful local
conferences were held in 1997, 1999 and 2000, which helped raise awareness
of the changes impacting the profession and its relationship to the business
world.
Now 140 members and growing, ACP International's Toronto Chapter encourages
volunteers to join an "Action Team" approach to leadership. We don't believe in committees.
We believe in people contributing on a project basis working in small teams that
get at developing "work that needs doing". The future of Toronto Chapter will
depend on a combination of the wisdom of the past 12 years in sync with the fresh
views of tomorrow.
ACP International, Toronto Chapter celebrated its 10th anniversary by hosting
the International Conference in June 2002. International members of ACP International,
came to Canada to receive the Canadian perspective on the "global future focus" of
the career services profession.
