Candace MacGibbon

CIM President-elect 2025-2026

I've known about CIM for years, but as an accountant and executive, I wasn't a member. A colleague invited me to join, and I immediately said yes. I see a great opportunity for more people from various backgrounds to get involved in CIM because the technical information is relevant to everyone in the mining business.
