Windsor, Ontario — The Canadian Association of Moldmakers (CAMM) and Automate Canada announced the appointment of Jeanine Lassaline- Berglund as president.
“After an extensive and meticulous process, we are excited to work with someone of the calibre of Jeanine,” says CAMM board chair Jonathon Azzopardi. “She has what it takes to promote and advocate with passion but also with focus. As the two associations move forward, Jeanine will rely on her background in manufacturing and the skills she has developed managing other industry organizations to help move us to the next level. The role of President will be vital to continued growth and achievement of strategic objectives for both organizations as Our Executive Director transitions into retirement in the coming months”.
Lassaline- Berglund brings over 30 years of work experience, starting her career in manufacturing as a skilled trade, rising through various positions in leadership and expanded responsibilities.
The associations said, Lassaline- Berglund’s full-time presidency will allow them to dig deeper when it comes to opportunities and create value for our members.
Automate Canada chair Shelley Fellows says this announcement came about as part of a strategic plan for the growth of both boards at a time when advocacy for our members, for future jobs and the moldmaking and automation industries are at a crucial turning point.
“I am tremendously excited as we are poised for growth in scale & scope with our new President; I am also delighted that our President is female, a ground breaker and trailblazer in manufacturing from her origins as a mold maker to her position today as a leader for our two associations in fields where women are historically far less prevalent.I could not be prouder of both our boards in terms of their vision & courage and look forward to our additional future as an example of diversity and inclusion.”
