Frank S. Capon Distinguished Service Award

Member volunteers are the backbone of FEI Canada. Our ongoing success would not be possible without the enthusiastic commitment of our volunteer leadership. Our volunteers are a vital component to our operations and, and our greatest promoters. They provide immeasurable value at both the National and Chapter level and are crucial to our various operating and advocacy committees. |
