that each study is focused to deliver the most
benefit to FEI Canada’s members. We would
like to thank CFERF’s Chair Vic Wells and all
of the trustees for their tireless work.
Today, CFERF research studies are one of the
many benefits received by FEI Canada members.
In 2010-2011, CFERF published studies on
the topics of:
• Electronic Payments in Canada: What’s
the hold up?
• Beyond the numbers: The evolving leadership
role of the CFO
• Enterprise mobility: Executive perspectives
on mobile business applications
• Credit availability in Canada: 2010
• Current management issues in Canadian
corporate taxation
For the first time in CFERF history, research
forums were held in multiple cities across
Canada. Forums were held in Vancouver,
Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto and Montreal.
This change to the previous forum format allowed
CFERF to engage members from across the
country in the research study process. FEI
Canada’s 11 chapters all donated to CFERF.
CFERF also launched its first corporate
donation program in the 2010-2011 year,
raising $35,000. We would like to thank the
following corporations who have stepped up and
made an inaugural donation to the foundation:
• GOLD LEVEL: Husky Energy, Manulife
• SILVER LEVEL: Agrium, Imperial Oil
• BRONZE LEVEL: Canadian Western
Bank, FinEX Group
• OTHER: General Electric, Marsulex Inc.
