Each year, the CPMEA offers our membership the opportunity to connect and engage with fellow CPMs across our campuses to help enhance their professional networks, all while receiving the benefits of learning programming and skills development opportunities through several lunch & learn sessions, Membership Breakfast and Annual General Meeting.
Guest Speaker:
Maina Levin, PRASE
Maina Levin is an experienced Lean Sigma Black Belt having worked in process improvement and re-engineering in both the post-secondary and manufacturing sectors. She specializes in getting teams to see how work is done from the perspective of a client and helping them re-design processes. Achieving success through elimination of wasteful steps, finding new ways of delivering value, applying basic process improvement tools and understanding metrics are all part of what Maina brings to her work as Project Lead on the PRASE team.
Join Maina Levin, Lean Sigma Black Belt for a discussion on Lean methodology and its applications in the York context. You’ll participate in group activities to rediscover how to define value as it applies to clients, how it impacts your processes and what constitutes waste. Spend an hour with Maina to see how Lean philosophy and tools can help you manage your projects and create a new way of thinking about how work is done.

Can you imagine having an empty email inbox? It almost sounds too good to be true! Although a completely empty inbox (also called "inbox zero") might seem overwhelming, maintaining a lean and clean inbox keeps us more organised and productive, ensures email records are handled appropriately, and eliminates email quota stress.
During this Lunch & Learn session, we will chew on useful Lotus Notes features and email management tips that will help increase our appetite for improving the efficiency and productivity of our email business skills.
Please register for the workshop. Light refreshments will be provided for registered participants.
