He values his past volunteer work with other community agencies including Junior Achievement as a business consultant and Girl Guides of Windsor as the board’s treasurer.
Meet the Board
HDGH: What motivated you to join HDGH's Board of Directors?
AD: I was eager to be part of an organization that shares my same beliefs and values. The leadership role HDGH plays to support improved mental health in this community aligns very closely with my one of my roles as the Executive Director of Employment and Social Services.
HDGH: What do you believe are the most prominent health needs in our community?
AD: Mental health challenges and addictions are impacting residents from all walks of life. Timely access to appropriate mental health and addiction supports is critical.
HDGH: As a member of the Board, how does the board ensure a healthy, equitable community?
Fulsome engagement with those who use our services, or may need them in the future, is key. The Board must be open to feedback and suggestions from those we serve, particularly historically underrepresented and marginalized communities.
