Each year Financial Executives International Canada recognizes a member who has made a significant contribution to advocating and improving FEI Canada. This year we are pleased to announce that Bev Davies (Winnipeg chapter), a tireless champion of FEI Canada, has been awarded the honour. 

Embodying the very best of what it means to be an FEI Canada member, Bev is a fully engaged member, volunteering countless hours to contribute to the success of our organization. She is a role model who has worked to make her chapter relevant and valuable to members and prospects. She is a leader who has driven success for her chapter and for national. She is a shining example of what our organization stands for – learning and sharing knowledge through networking. 

Bev has made significant contributions to both national and the Winnipeg chapter. On the National Board she has served as Chair, Vice Chair, and Chair of the Governance Committee. She has also volunteered her time to the Audit & Finance Committee, Governance Committee, Corporate Reporting Committee, CFERF Advisory Council, and Chapter Leadership Council.

Highly regarded for the success of the Annual Conference held in Winnipeg in 2015, Bev served as Chair, spearheading the hosting of the conference, assembling a cross-country team, including some of the most senior financial leadership in Winnipeg. She successfully rallied the support of the local business community, helping to raise the profile of FEI Canada. Her efforts to engage the local business community yielded new members and record-setting sponsorship. Under Bev’s leadership, the team achieved the highest percentage increase in local membership than any previous membership committee – a whopping 58%.

Bev has been instrumental in growing membership and building the profile of the Winnipeg chapter. She has served as President, Vice President, and Programs Chair. As President, she helped to grow membership levels during challenging economic times. She excels at outreach, ensuring that all new members feel welcome and included. A thoughtful and resourceful leader, Bev has used her extensive network to provide quality programming for chapter events. Her very capable leadership of the National Conference enabled the chapter to invest funds to advance education and networking in support of the goals of FEI Canada.
