Robert Thomson (BC) (2020 — 2022)

2020 05 13 -

I had the good for­tune of attend­ing and con­tribut­ing to a CNMN Sus­tain­abil­i­ty con­ver­sa­tion in 2019. I felt a con­nec­tion with the organization’s val­ues and left excit­ed with the dia­logue and the knowl­edge exchanged. CNMN is pro­vid­ing inno­v­a­tive and excit­ing events that enrich our music com­mu­ni­ty. I’m hon­oured to be asked to join the board and am excit­ed to con­tribute and learn.
