Why I volunteer with CAUBO?

Deborah Collis    

“I am very interested in the organization and in furthering its efforts to be a source of information, strategic advice and support for higher education institutions across Canada. I believe this organization plays a critical role in supporting and developing university business officers and I am very happy to provide my time and effort to assist it to succeed. I find it personally very rewarding to be involved in an organization that fosters collaboration and interaction of higher education institutions across our country.”

Deborah Collis, Director, Department of Financial & Administrative Services, Memorial University of Newfoundland

Darrell Cochrane  

 “CAUBO, through the Finance Committee, has established a dialogue with CFI and the federal Tri-councils to better understand the important issues identified during the monitoring visits and how to best bring forward the review issues important to the university community. I am optimistic these discussions will benefit both the university community and the Federal Agencies.”

Darrell Cochrane, Controller, Financial Services, Dalhousie University

Steve Dantzer  

“Over the past 8 years, the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues nation-wide has been a tremendously valuable and enjoyable experience. I encourage all university staff to join the CAUBO team. It's a great way to advance best practice in university management.”

Steve Dantzer, Associate Vice-President, Facilities Development, University of Calgary

Michael Histed  

“Being a volunteer is a very enriching experience which provides me with a window into the inner workings of Canadian universities and which offers me the privilege of working with many talented and dedicated individuals.  It has also allowed me the opportunity to spread the word about risk management, safety and the environment to a much broader collective audience than if CAUBO did not exist.”

Michael Histed, Director, Office of Risk Management, University of Ottawa

Gracy Pardillo  

I volunteer for CAUBO because it connects me with my colleagues across the country. You are always in the know of what’s going on and what is coming up outside your provincial borders.  Getting the bigger picture, while contributing my time to help build a growing network among CAUBO members is very rewarding.

Gracy Pardillo, Director, Controls & Compliance/Financial Services, McGill University

Brian Stewart  

“As a procurement professional, I always strive for “win win”. As individuals, as an association and through the benefits that flow back to our institutions we all win by the networking, sharing and the collaborating opportunities provided by volunteering!”

Brian Stewart, Director, Procurement and Contract Management, Supply Management Services, University of Alberta
