CivicAction owes its founding and success to date to an impressive Founding Steering Committee of Toronto region leaders who have been closely involved in CivicAction since its inception. While many of them continue to be actively involved in our work, we have appointed a 2011-2015 Steering Committee, with regional representation and diversity in mind, to help set and execute our post-Summit agenda and set the stage for our next Summit. We thank the Founding Steering Committee members for their dedicated and continuing support, and are excited to introduce you to the members of our 2011-2015 Steering Committee.
