Kristin Doucet
In May, the College welcomed Kristin Doucet as the managing editor of Professionally Speaking/Pour parler profession.
Doucet brings over 15 years of professional association magazine experience. Most recently, she spent 12 years working in a senior role at Advocis, the Financial Advisors Association of Canada, where she was the editor of FORUM magazine for 12 years, as well as the director of communications for the last three.
Prior to working at Advocis, Doucet was the editor-in-chief of CMA Management magazine, produced by the Society of Management Accountants of Canada.
Originally from the Niagara Region, Doucet is passionate about “telling a good story,” and is excited about the opportunity to further champion the College’s mandate through its flagship publication.
“Having two children in the public school system, I can appreciate first-hand the important work teachers do,” says Doucet. “I am grateful to be a part of this award-winning team, and look forward to providing our readers with new ideas and information to help them progress in their careers.”
