Wendy became known not only for operational prowess but also as a very effective leader and developer of talent. Her passion has been the building of highly engaged organizations that succeed through significant periods of change and growth and she has been recognized repeatedly with Best Workplace in Canada Awards.

Upon her recent retirement Wendy relocated back to Ontario making her home base Burlington near family and friends. She immediately began to think about how to bring her experience to her community. That started with the mentorship of female small business founders and by volunteering in the Breakfast Program at her neighbourhood elementary school. Joining the  Joseph Brant Hospital Foundation Board is an important next step for her on that journey and one that she is honored to undertake.
