This highly visible role is responsible for shaping and executing a multi-year events strategy that enhances member value, drives revenue growth, strengthens stakeholder engagement, and reinforces CPMA's position as the leading convenor of Canada's fresh produce industry. The Senior Director also provides leadership and oversight for the recruitment, engagement, and management of volunteers who play a critical role in the successful delivery of the Annual Convention and Trade Show, ensuring an exceptional experience for attendees while fostering strong volunteer engagement.
