Civic leadership means leaders coming together, sharing extraordinary attributes in a collaborative effort to make a difference in our communities. By utilizing their strong networks, civic leaders take pride in bringing forward recommendations to influence change, create solutions and strengthen relationships for the betterment of our communities.
In my view, resilience is the most important attribute of a leader. When working towards a common goal, the ability to adapt to change and preserver are important success measures to demonstrate to yourself and to your team.
Being among a group of driven professional leaders who are passionate about their development and commitment to our communities is inspiring. I am motivated to learn and grow as a leader and share this experience with a group of influencers inspired to achieve the same common goals.
As a Branch Manager for Meridian Credit Union in the Niagara Region, we take pride in our commitment to our communities. I am motivated to strengthen my network to help support our Corporate Values and better the community I live in.
Niagara has experienced rapid growth within the past decade. The rise in housing markets has created a shift in population coming from the GTA to Niagara as a desirable affordable community to live. Positively, our communities are growing and thriving like never before. One of our greatest opportunities is creating awareness and welcoming our new commuters to the incredible community of Niagara. With the convenience of life at our fingertips, we need to think creatively and work together to activate our new residents to embrace our community.
