Contact Centre Nova Scotia recently held its 2nd Annual General Meeting at The Ramada Inn in Dartmouth. The event was a great success and we wanted to extend our appreciation to everyone that was able to attend, especially those who had to travel from out of town to be with us. We had representation from 20 different organizations across the province that make up our industry and also celebrated our first ever Top Associate of the Year Awards. These individuals were recognized for their outstanding performance and contributions to their organizations and we were honored to be able to recognize them in front of their peer groups. We'd also like to thank our guest speaker Colin MacDonald from Clearwater Foods and to Allstream and KRP communications for their sponsorship. CCNS is gearing up for another great year and we look forward to your continued support. Congratulations again to all our award winners for truly making a difference every day!
