 Society has come a long way in reducing the marginalization of women, but we’re not there yet. Until abuse is eliminated in Halton, we need to ensure a safe place for the women and children who need us. I believe that it is my duty and privilege to support Halton Women’s Place with all resources at my disposal. I share with my fellow Board members the desire to end violence toward women, and in the meantime ensure those who are abused have our organization to turn to when in crisis.

It is very rewarding to be involved with HWP.  HWP not only provides a safe shelter to abused women and their dependent children but strives to effect social change and end violence against woman through public education and advocacy.  It is great working with dedicated staff, management, donors, volunteers and Board members that are committed to creating better communities.

I have been part of the financial services world for more that 13 years, an entrepreneur and finally a husband and father. When I was asked to attend the annual Gala in 2009 for HWP it touched my wife and I at how truly amazing this organization really is. When an opening to sit on the board came to my attention in May 2009 I jumped at the opportunity to be a part of such a great cause. To my fellow board it has been a privilege working with you so far this year and I look forward to many more years to come.

When I was looking to leverage my professional experience to make a difference in my community, Halton Women’s Place was my choice because of the caliber of the organization and the valuable work they do. Since joining the board, I have learned a great deal about the needs of Women and Children in our community and am committed to supporting our fundraising and development efforts so we can continue to provide support to help Women and Children live a violence free life.

On my first tour through the shelter, I remember being surprised by the atmosphere.  I was overwhelmed by the awesome sense of positive energy.  It reaffirmed for me that Halton Women’s Place provides vital services for women and their children trying to make their lives better.  As a board member, I’m honoured to play a small part of improving all those lives.
