In taking on this central leadership role in Ontario’s developmental services sector, Claudine and Empower Simcoe will be at the forefront of discussions with government decision makers, advocating for funding and resources, and helping to drive Journey to Belonging.
“With OASIS transforming from a volunteer-resourced organization to a CEO and staff-resourced corporation, our agency’s involvement comes at a critical time for us in light of these overlapping and historic sector transformations,” says Claudine. “Stay tuned as we engage in crucial conversations and bring the voice of organizations that provide services and supports to families and individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to our decision makers.”
Congratulations, Claudine!
