North Coast Community Services Society (NCCSS) has a new executive director.
The board of directors announced last week they had hired Michelle MacNeill to take over the helm as of July 22.
“The Board is very excited to welcome Michelle to our organization.” said Michelle Crichton, North Coast Community Services Society Board Chair. “Michelle brings a wealth of experience from the organizations she has worked for in the past that will be of benefit to the Society."
Chrichton added the board feels MacNeill's "visionary approach, strategic mindset and passion for the vision of the society" aligns perfectly with their values and objectives.
"We are confident that her leadership will propel us to new heights in providing our community with the services we deserve in the North."
MacNeill was most recently a branch manager/community leader with Northern Savings and Loan in Prince Rupert.
MacNeill said she feels humbled to be able to align herself with an organization that supports her passion for community and her personal values of inclusivity and belonging.
“I feel privileged to have found myself in a place in my life and career where I have been able to choose to work with a local organization where we directly impact the social, economic and community well-being of the people in and around us," she said.
"I look forward to raising awareness of the programs and services that our caring teams at NCCSS provide through our Family Connections Centre and Cradles to Moccasins space and to re-establishing partnerships with other local community service partners.”
