#ThankfulThursday gives the Brant Community Healthcare System Foundation a regular opportunity to recognize and thank the important individuals, businesses and organizations in our community that help to make a difference to the quality and effectiveness of our local healthcare system.

This week’s Thankful Thursday feature:

Thank you to our 2019 BCHS Foundation Board of Directors

A Thankful Thursday THANK YOU to the new 2019 Board of Directors officially voted in at the BCHS Foundation Board of Directors Annual General Meeting on June 19 at the Brantford Golf and Country Club.

The BCHS Foundation Board of Directors is comprised of a diverse group of community leaders from the City of Brantford and the County of Brant dedicated to philanthropic leadership, and overseeing the fundraising activities of the BCHS Foundation serving the communities utilizing the healthcare services of the Brantford General and the Willett, Paris.

New to the BCHS Foundation Board in 2019 is Caitlin Turner, an Associate Lawyer with Waterous Holden Amey Hitchon LLP. She will be joining the Board as a Director, with Marilyn Sewell returning to the fold for a one-year Director position.

Director Heather Wilson will assume the position of Vice-Chair, and Director Lisa Ligori will be the Board Treasurer for 2019.

Many thanks to Chris McCurdy for his tenure as Board Chair from 2017 to 2018. Chris passes the mantle to Mario Colombo, who will serve as Board Chair until 2020.

The Board of Directors’ tireless commitment to raising funds for the BCHS Foundation is a vitally important function of our operation, and for their dedication to the cause and the communities we serve, we would like to recognize the BCHS Foundation Board of Directors as this week’s Thankful Thursday recipients.
