Having grown up in Lethbridge, moved to Edmonton for twenty years, then returned to Lethbridge, I have witnessed my City’s evolution as both a citizen, and a visitor, deeply appreciating how it compares and contrasts to larger urban centres. My career in Edmonton allowed me to work closely with that city’s municipal government, police service, vast network of service agencies, and the provincial government. Through this I developed a deep understanding of many aspects of leadership and service within a growing city and Province. Returning to Lethbridge has been as interesting as it has been lovely. Lethbridge has a great deal of potential and is at a very exciting and important time in its evolution. I am deeply proud of Lethbridge’s history and unique strengths, not the least of which is its esteemed University, and feel a calling toward a stewardship role in this era of the city’s development.
On a professional level, as the CEO of a human services agency that has been serving Lethbridge since 1910, and as Lethbridge’s 10th largest employer, I, and my Board of Directors, feel that my service on the University of Lethbridge Senate represents an important leadership and ambassadorship contribution that Lethbridge Family Services and I can make to the Lethbridge community, beyond our direct service to over 8,100 citizens annually.
