Out-and-About with Cosmetics Alliance
In-Person Company Briefings Resume for CA Members
|
With the pandemic now behind us, CA member companies have resumed their requests for in-person member visits/briefings from CA’s Darren Praznik & Beta Montemayor. This popular initiative provides member companies with an opportunity to introduce new senior executives to many of the regulatory and market access issues facing our industry and their companies, as well as the services and opportunities available through Cosmetics Alliance. It is an excellent tool for senior management teams, an opportunity to discuss specific company issues/priorities, or to assist in briefing head office officials on “what’s going on in Canada”.
CA President Darren Praznik is always pleased to meet with our member companies and is currently scheduling visits for later this spring in Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver. If you would like to arrange an in-person (or virtual) meeting, please contact Diane Kozak at 416-899-7220.

With the start of a new year, Darren and Beta kicked things off with member visits to COSMETICA, COLGATE (where they met with new GM, Jennifer Porter along with Margaret Turnbull and Selene Agular) and GALDERMA (Darren and Beta pictured left with Jaclyn Shipp and Sarah Nichols of Regulatory Affairs).
