How We Started
This community of practice believes in the power of collaboration. And that’s how we got started.
Our vision came together after months of planning in early 2023, thanks to the collective effort of Jason Kwok in Facilities Management and Planning, Anthony Betts in Information and Instructional Technology Services, and Anuar Rodrigues and Jennifer Reid-Burrell in the Project Management Office.
The same collaborative spirit animates our rotational model of leadership: we’ll welcome a new community leader every year, alongside community advocates from our three founding units.
Sandra Ngan serves as the community leader for 2024-25, alongside community advocates Ammena Ajaz and Andy Semine from I&ITS, Brian Ingoldsby and Eileen Waweru from the PMO, Randy Seto from Facilities Management and Planning, and Tara Fader from Student Recruitment & Admissions. Together, they support the planning, coordination, and promotion of CoP events.
