June updates from Howe Sound Women's Centre Society

Farewell to our Executive Director, Megan Reynolds

It is with heavy hearts that the staff and board of Howe Sound Women’s Centre Society says farewell to Megan Reynolds as our Executive Director.  For 3 years, Meg has served as Executive Director of Howe Sound Women’s Centre Society, with 1.5 years of service previously as our Resource Development Manager.

 

Meg has worked tirelessly to better our organization and increase our capacity to do more for the women and children we serve.  The Society has thrived under her dedicated service, leadership, and vision.  With Meg’s guidance, Howe Sound Women’s Centre Society has expanded our inventory of affordable housing units, introduced the Homeless Prevention program which provides portable rental subsidies for women experiencing violence or who are at risk of homelessness, grew our WorkBC partnership with Back in Motion and enhanced our sexual assault response and prevention efforts.    

 

Meg has been a strong advocate for affordable housing, working collaboratively with other non-profits to develop innovative and integrated solutions for the affordable housing crisis.  We have the utmost gratitude to Meg for all of her contributions during her tenure.  Her impact has been immense.  Meg, know how much you will be missed.  We wish you all the best!
