“ I am honoured to be named the first CEO of the Association and am very much looking forward to working with the Board, Association members, and our many community and health care partners on behalf of the physiotherapy profession in Alberta,” Jen says. “Meeting members and listening to their priorities regarding the profession is among my very first tasks, and I can’t wait to get started on that!”
