Highlights of the 2010 Annual General Meeting
|
The recipient of the 2010 Serge Villard Award is Mr. Michael Brodsky. Michael has been an Environmental Microbiologist for 38 years. He is a graduate from the University of Toronto, School of Hygiene and was the Chief of Environmental Microbiology from 1982-1999 with the Laboratory Services Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Health. He is currently operating as Brodsky Consultants, an independent microbiological consultant in food and water safety, laboratory accreditation, and quality assurance. Michael has been a CALA assessor since 2000, and has performed 39 assessments, either by himself or on a team. He has continually received positive feedback from team members and laboratories on his technical knowledge and performance of assessments, and is a RABQSA-certified Lead Assessor.

The recipient of the 2010 Don LaBerge award is Dr. Richard Wilson. Rick was appointed the association’s Executive Director in August 1994 and fourteen years later when he retired, CALA was recognized around the world as an organization worthy of respect in advancing quality issues. Rick will tell you that CALA’s recognition was achieved by the members, the volunteers and the staff, however this fails to recognize the contribution of the person who set the tone for these successes. Yes, Rick did not necessarily accomplish them, but he did facilitate them. He acted as our guide so that we could all succeed, to our individual benefits, to the benefit of the association, to the benefit of the members, and to the benefit of Canadians – our ultimate customers. Rick Wilson on behalf of CALA, was inspirational, motivational, forgiving, dedicated, and unassuming. A leader by any definition and a very deserving recipient of the 2010 Don LaBerge Award. Congratulations Rick!
