President’s Message

A Defining Moment for Our Profession: If We’re Not at the Table, We’re on the Menu

As I step into the role of President of the TCMO, I want to begin by recognizing the leadership of Heather Kenny and the impact she has had on this organization over the last six years.

Heather’s work has helped strengthen our voice, build key relationships, and move forward critical conversations that affect every practitioner in Ontario.

Business Tip

With the mid-spring energy, it is typical to engage in an influx of marketing. More ads, more posts, more outreach.

But if your conversion system is weak, you could be leaking opportunities.

Before investing, it’s important to consider certain areas of focus.
