“Being a member of EWO has helped me learn from colleagues through amazing PD sessions, networking sessions, and conferences. I have also had the opportunity to get involved as a board member and through multiple committees, which has allowed me to contribute to the direction of EWO and the industry. EWO continues to grow and create value for its members, and I am proud to be a member of the organization.”

“It has been wonderful to see EWO go from strength to strength and become a visible and viable voice for Co-op and WIL programs in Ontario. Through building our Provincial networks we support WIL across the country. Well done EWO!”

As the Co-Chair/Chair of the Awards and Recognition Committee from 2017-2019 Ashley enjoyed connecting with colleagues from all over the province and celebrating the success of our Co-op and WIL students. Ashley also regularly participates in EWO annual conferences and webinars to stay current on trends and to connect with colleagues. “I am truly grateful for the opportunities that EWO provides to connect with and learn from professionals within the EL/WIL space”. 

“It has been an absolute pleasure to sit on the EWO Awards and Recognition committee over the past four years and to have been able to serve as a co-chair for this committee over the past two years. This experience has provided me with so many incredible opportunities, from building collaborative relationships with partners from across various institutions, to developing further leadership skills, and most importantly, to recognizing and honouring incredible students who have contributed to our communities. I would highly encourage anyone considering joining a committee to explore opportunities with EWO.”
