How We Started

This community of practice believes in the power of collaboration. And that’s how we got started.

Our vision came together after months of planning in early 2023, thanks to the collective effort of Jason Kwok in Facilities Management and Planning, Anthony Betts in Information and Instructional Technology Services, and Anuar Rodrigues and Jennifer Reid-Burrell in the Project Management Office.

The same collaborative spirit animates our rotational model of leadership: we’ll welcome a new community leader every year, alongside community advocates from our three founding units.

Eileen Waweru serves as the community leader for 2025-26, alongside community advocates Ammena Ajaz and Andy Semine from I&ITS, Brian Ingoldsby from the PMO, and Sandra Ngan from Office of the Registrar. Together, they support the planning, coordination, and promotion of CoP events.
