Friends:

The Board of Directors and Associates of the Peter F. Drucker Canadian Foundation are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Peter Drucker on November 11, 2005. A visionary management thinker, teacher and writer, Peter Drucker's inspiration lives on through the works of the Canadian Foundation and its newly refocused Social Innovation Awards program (SIA).

Celebrating collaboration, social enterprise and community catalysts, the Canadian Drucker Foundation is proud to partner with the Centre for Social Innovation and the Ashoka in its national mandate to recognize and reward the best of Canada's social innovators. Aligned with Drucker's interests in innovation in social enterprise, the SIA fosters an innovative, resilient and vibrant social mission sector in Canada by actively identifying, celebrating and sharing proven strategies of social innovation.

By dedicating its mission to this type of work, the Peter F. Drucker Canadian Foundation continues to honour Peter Drucker's legacy in Canada.

Sincerely,

Jacline Nyman
Chair, Peter F. Drucker Canadian Foundation
