We value and rely on the support that we receive from our stakeholders, businesses, alumni, community members, post secondary institutions. We would not be able to operate without this!

This support comes from volunteering or judging at events, mentoring students or local chapters, sponsoring events, exhibiting at events, donations, or registering as an alumni or professional member.
