April PCSBV Newsletter 2022 (8.5 x 11 in)

NORM DREGER: Norm began his work with the PCSBV in early 2015. He was a member of the founding Board of Directors and was elected chair of the interim board. He resigned from the chair position at the 1st AGM in June 2017 but stayed on as a director on the board until 2021. Norm's business management and administration background were invaluable in helping to guide the PCSBV in many important first steps including the application to the CRA for Charitable status, in developing the initial business plan and strategic plan. Norm was a founding member of the building committee. He established an informal association of palliative care organizations in rural areas of the Calgary Zone. Norm was also the liaison between the Board and the volunteers of our Stoney Nakoda First Nations Morley working group who were in contact with the Stoney Nakoda Nations members. While Norm has retired from his board position, he continues to volunteer with the PCSBV by being involved in the Building Committees and as a board advisor. For the gifts of Norm's time, talent, and energy, we are so thankful.

BLAIR DUNBAR:

Blair joined the PCSBV in 2016. He was a member of the interim board and stood for election for the first full board at the 1st AGM in June 2017. Blair has a Master of Social Work. His knowledge and understanding of governance have been invaluable to the PCSBV as Blair helped in the development of our Bylaws and policies. While Blair resigned from the board in 2020, he continues to serve on the Governance committee where one of his talents is to ensure our governance documents are up to date and readily available. As well as volunteering for the PCSBV, Blair is a long-standing volunteer in the world of Nordic skiing. He is a Bow Valley Sports Hall of Fame 2019 Inductee and received the Alberta World Cup Officiating Award in 2017 for his dedication to organizing and officiating Cross Country Ski events. For the gifts of Blair’s time, talent, and energy, we have tremendous gratitude.

ANN KERWIN:

In 2020 Ann came onboard as a volunteer leader for our Charity Golf Tournament. As we all know, funding not-for-profit endeavors takes creativity, commitment, and a broad skillset. Ann brings all of this as well as a lifetime of leadership excellence. She stepped into the role of co-chair of our tournament organizing committee, contributing countless hours over the course of the next year. Along with two other key volunteers, Ann ensured the success of this event, not only in terms of dollars raised, but in the quality of the experience for participants. For the gifts of her time, talent, and energy we are very appreciative.

DONNA BRADLEY:

In 2020 Donna came onboard as a volunteer leader for our Charity Golf Tournament. Donna’s background is in business and she brings with her an acumen for financial leadership. When running a large fundraising event, one person needs to have their hand on the pulse of sponsors, the flow of donations, and the color of the ledger. This was Donna. At the end of the day, her contribution of time and talent, along with the work of her teammates, allowed PCSBV to provide a high- quality, memorable event for our supporters. For the gifts of her time, talent, and energy we have deep appreciation.

We want to recognize and thank all our volunteers!

WENDY CAMPBELL:

In 2020 Wendy came onboard as a volunteer leader for our Charity Golf Tournament. Wendy, and co-chair Ann, were willing to pick up a project with fairly young roots and turn out one of the Valley’s premier charity golf tournaments. Wendy is a “get- it-done” personality and with a project of this size that kind of energy is essential. Her willingness to pick up the myriad of tasks in the minutia of planning and make it appear seamless speaks volumes about her many abilities and patience. For the gifts of Wendy's time, talent, and energy we beyond thankful.
