Enriqueta del Carmen Fischer, CHRP, PCP

Chair, Chapter Mentorship

I have always believed in volunteering because I find helping others to be a very rewarding experience. I have volunteered with the Publicity Committee for 10 years. Volunteering is fun because I have had the opportunity to meet very valuable people and I’ve enjoyed providing career mentoring support to friends and people while they were in career transition. I have developed my leadership skills leading different projects and being the chair of different committees.

I believe this is the right opportunity to provide my experience and share my creativity and my ideas with the committee and continue the amazing work that other committee chairs have contributed with their commitment for our Peel Chapter to become the strongest chapter in the Region with the best facilitators and training development tools for the HR Professionals for today and tomorrow. I am a CHRP and I am currently working towards my CHRL designation.
