Backed by solid accounting expertise, the CMA program trains you in strategy, leadership and management skills – making you an invaluable member of any team.

Viola Gressel is a proud Certified Management Accountant and has been moderating the Strategic Leadership Program for the BC CMA for the past 15 years.  Moderating is a role which she thoroughly enjoys as it not only allows her to network with fellow CMA’s, it’s also allowed her to recruit some of the “best and brightest”!

This role encompasses a number of diverse functional areas including those under the Chief Financial Officer, Chief Information Officer and the Director General, Administration Directorate.   Prior to working with the Department of Justice, and throughout her 26 years as a public servant, Vi has had the opportunity to work in a number of interesting and challenging roles, such as a Training and Development Officer for Customs and Excise, a Senior Financial Management Advisor for the Department of Fisheries & Oceans in Ottawa, and a Strategic Business Advisor for Small Craft Harbours – a role that enabled her to view some of the more beautiful locations along the west coast of BC.

Vi is actively involved as a member of the Board of Directors for two Not-For-Profit Organizations -

- KidSport is an organization that enables “all kids to play” and

- Financial Management Institute of Canada, Vancouver Chapter, is an organization dedicated to delivering learning events, seminars, workshops and webinars with a focus on relevant and contemporary issues in financial management.

Vi was just recently awarded the Department of Justice Deputy Minister Leadership Award recognizing exceptional commitment and dedication to the Department’s goals and priorities.
