Next Big Leap and a BIG Thank You to CBC, for six great years of ground-breaking diversity innovation!

Broadcasting | October 21, 2010

Diversity is top priority with our most senior management. It's part of the culture at every level of CBC. I've completed my task, this critical phase is done and it's now time for me to take a leap. Friday October 29th will be my last day.
