Yesterday I attended an entertaining CIRA Annual General meeting which was also used as the kick-off for this year's board elections. This year's slate includes past and present board members such as Clyde Beattie, Paul Anderson, Rick Anderson, and Ron Kawchuk, as well as some impressive new candidates that could provide the board with greater linguistic diversity and a broad range of expertise. If you are a CIRA member, don't forget to vote.
