About the IAEM-Canada Council

The IAEM-Canada Council includes IAEM members in all provinces and territories across Canada.

The IAEM-Canada Region became the first region outside the United States in 2003 under the previous IAEM organizational structure. Marg Verbeek, CEM, was the first IAEM President from outside the United States (2005-2006). The IAEM-Canada Region became the IAEM-Canada Council (one of seven Councils worldwide) in 2007, when the current organizational structure went into effect. The IAEM-Canada president serves as the representative of the Council on the IAEM-Global Board.
