 After 36 years with the CBA, Senior Director of Communications Stephen Hanson has decided it’s time to bid the association au revoir. “I’ve discovered there’s never a good time to leave,” said Stephen in announcing his decision. “There’s always one more report or speech to write, one more committee to serve or one more task force in need of a communications plan,” adds the veteran communicator.
CEO John Hoyles says the CBA won’t be the same without him. “Stephen’s knowledge, understanding and experience made him the ‘go-to’ person for communications advice. He successfully implemented a communications strategy that raised the profile of the CBA to the point that the Association is recognized by Canadians as the voice of the legal profession.”
Among his many accomplishments, he oversaw the evolution of the National from newspaper to magazine, managed the digitizing of the Canadian Bar Review with full search engine capability, and pioneered CBA.org’s online presence with CBANet, the innovative legal e-network in the 1980s.
Stephen retires on Aug. 31. In the meantime, we’d like to hear from you. If you worked with Stephen and would like to reminisce or share a memory, please send an email to Hannah Bernstein. |
