2023 Member Recognition Gala Recap & Photos

On May 11, over 200 guests attended the CPA Manitoba Member Recognition Gala at Canada’s Diversity Gardens – The Leaf. It was a special evening honouring our 2023 recipients. 

As CPA Manitoba’s President & CEO, Geeta Tucker, FCPA, FCMA, shared in the 2023 Spotlight, “This year’s recipients include trailblazers, visionaries, mentors and leaders who embody what it means to be a CPA. While each have taken their own career journeys, the commonalities they share are a dedication to representing the profession with integrity and a desire to give back to charitable and non-profit organizations that need their expertise.”
