Stephanie Lamb
My name is Stephanie Lamb and Iâve been fortunate to have worked in fluid power for 27 years with MP Filtri Canada, currently in the role of President. It is an honour for me to be elected by the board to serve as your President. I look forward to working with our Executive Team to continue the great work done by our past committees and to continue to engage our members and provide effective ways to promote fluid power in Canada and help equip our members for future success.
Itâs an exciting time for the CFPA. We have a record number of members, new fluid power certification courses, new industry reports, new regional events, a new outreach committee and more.
The CFPA exists to not only promote the industry as a whole, but to provide our member with tools to drive profitability and innovation. I look forward to continuing to work with our committee members to meet these goals.
Over my 5+ years on the board, I have been consistently impressed by the dedication and commitment of my fellow board members in promoting our industry and fostering collaboration between all member companies. Please consider getting involved in one of our committees. This is your chance to have a say in the direction of fluid power in our country and work with a group of engaged industry leaders. You wonât regret it.
