Touchstone Institute Annual Report 2016/2017

2016/2017's Message from the CEO:

Our move to Wellington Street has yielded significant benefit for our operations and for staff. Our larger classrooms better accommodate our education programming, and can be combined to create an event space where we have held large consultations as well as our 2017 Perspectives Symposium. We also have easier access to assessment rooms and can stage all of our candidates, simulated clients, examiners and support staff from the same floor.

While the new location is wonderful, my utmost pride is in the accomplishments of the staff who demonstrate their value to the organization and our clients every day. For many this has resulted in advancement to positions as coordinators, managers, and directors. One of our first employees, Alex Tran, is now the Director of Exam Administration, a new position required to oversee our expanding range of assessments. Also advancing to an executive role is our psychometrician Sandra Monteiro, who as Director of Research and Analysis now has a small team that is having a big impact, as evidenced by our increased psychometric range, quality assurance initiatives, and presence at national and international conferences.

This year marks the launch of a new and promising chapter for Touchstone Institute
