Recent sessions have covered relevant and timely topics such as user-centred design (including a field trip to Communitech in Waterloo), an interactive Customer Journey Mapping workshop, closed-loop customer engagement systems, and more.
CXPA Toronto's Steering Committee is made up of volunteer CX professionals including Martha Casanova and Wally Thiessen from SAS, Michael Chandrapal from Manulife, Roger Pugsley from Oxford Properties, Sandra Greene from SG Consulting and Derek Bildfell who will continue to participate and share his vast knowledge of the CX space.

With the help and support of the CXPA team and members, I will endeavour to continue to build it and make it a vibrant community that brings value to its members."
