IT LOOKS LIKe Canada’s love affair with the musiCAL HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN. President’s message Hello again! My name is Allan Teichman, I work as a stage manager, and at the first meeting of the new Coun- cil I had the honour of being re-elected President. I feel privileged that I should continue to be entrusted with the task of assisting Council in its work. And of course, I don’t do it alone – Council will also count on Kerry Davidson (B.C./Yukon) as First VP and Advisory Liaison, Kerry-Ann Doherty (Ontario) as Second VP and Member Liaison, and Virginia Reh (Ontario) as Secretary-Treasurer. As with last term, Council begins with an enormous agenda ahead of it, however much of that work is already well under way. Our first meeting consisted of three solid days of learning and review to bring us up to speed, so you now have a board of 22 dedicated and energized Councillors just itching to get to work.
