Mohandes Magazine: Fall Edition 2017

MESSAGE
FROM THE CHAIR
Dear Mohandes members,
It’s time to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Kanoon Mohandes and we will mark this very special
occasion in our Yalda 2017 Gala on Dec 15th.
Over these 30 years, Mohandes has helped thousands of Iranian engineers and architects and has
been one of the successful Iranian professional organizations in Canada. The world is most decidedly
more complex, diverse and multifaceted than it was in the past and we have changed with it. We are
now reviewing Kanoon’s structure and constitution to address the new demands and what defines us
is our desire to inspire, instill and deliver “real services” to our members. It is they, who bring vitality to
Mohandes organization. Our 30th anniversary offers us a unique opportunity to acknowledge devoted
members in the history of Mohandes, to celebrate and to dream about our future.
Every year, Kanoon Mohandes secures financial support from membership fees, individual donors
and sponsors to support its ongoing programs. Our growing activities in recent years, for sure demand
more financial supports from different resources. Mohandes fundraising campaign has already started
and will be part of our “30th Anniversary Celebrations”. We have also defined new categories of
membership that will be launched in January 2018.
Now it’s your turn to roll up your sleeves and care by becoming an active member of Kanoon, and by
donating your money and your time. Let’s call it “Giving Back” program with opportunities for you to
give back to the community in many ways. We need your help to make sure we are accessible for every
engineer and architect – newcomers, new grads, senior and junior members – and we all practice
sense of belonging to our professional home.
It is our pleasure to celebrate Kanoon Mohandes achievements with you and to look ahead to a bright
future together.
Yours truly,
Mahboob Bolandi
