PCH is important to our community, and I have a strong commitment to the cause. With over a decade of involvement in various business roles, it’s an honour to lend my experience to ensure the nonprofit has adequate resources to advance its mission, protect its ethical governance and financial management policies, and help ensure a sustainable future for the people it serves. This is also a welcome opportunity for me to collaborate with, and learn from like-minded individuals, all championing for the same cause.
