First, I would like to thank Stéphane for his outstanding leadership and dedication over the past year. As we enter a new season, CSABE will take an active role in adapting both regional and global approaches to addressing the challenges and opportunities facing our profession.

During my term, I will focus on strengthening our membership, revitalizing our journal, enhancing industry engagement, expanding interdisciplinary networks, and building strong working relationships with ASABE, IFT, CIGR, and other professional organizations. We will also continue to support and promote initiatives involving social media and artificial intelligence to improve communication, collaboration, and knowledge sharing across our community.

On behalf of CSABE, I extend my sincere thanks to the Local Planning Committee for organizing an outstanding 2026 AGM and conference in Saskatoon, held from July 19 to 22, 2026. The event was a great success and provided valuable opportunities for learning, networking, and collaboration.

I look forward to continuing and strengthening the partnership between our societies as we prepare for the 2027 conference in the Atlantic region.

Thank you for your continued support and engagement. Together, we will continue to advance CSABE and serve our members and stakeholders with excellence.

Best regards,
Venkatesh Meda
President, CSABE-SCGAB
