A colleague’s commitment praised by The Cancer Assistance Program

January 15, 2021

Michael Ecker, iA Securities Investment advisor is president of the board of The Cancer Assistance Program (CAP) in Hamilton, Ontario.

CAP is a community based, not-for-profit organization offering free services for individuals and families affected by cancer, living in the greater region of Hamilton and surrounding communities.

Debbie Logel Butler, CAP Executive Director, sent us the following kind words about Michael’s involvement:

Michael began his term as president of the board when the pandemic started and has been a tremendous leader during this past year. He is a remarkable advocate for our charity, continuing to share the work that we do amongst his business networks. As a small organization that receives no sustainable funding, we are very appreciative of Michael’s work and that iA has chosen to make this gift.

Congratulations, Michael, and keep up the good work with CAP!
