Volunteer Centre executive director takes on new role

Former founding executive director of the Volunteer Centre of Guelph Wellington, Cathy Taylor, has recently accepted a new role with the Ontario Nonprofit Network.

Taylor accepted the position as the first executive director of the Ontario Nonprofit Network (ONN), a Toronto based organization that has emerged as a convener, communication broker and coordinator for non-profits in Ontario.

On secondment to the ONN  since June 2012, Taylor’s role with the volunteer centre has been shared by Christine Oldfield and Liz Dennis as interim directors, who will remain in the position until a new executive director is hired early in the new year.

Taylor helped to build the centre into a multi-service organization that is a community hub and leader in Guelph and Wellington. Taylor celebrated her 11th year with the organization in July.

The Volunteer Centre board and staff thank Taylor for her years of hard work and dedication.

Members, partners and other well-wishers are welcome to attend an open house event to be held in Taylor’s honour on Dec. 14 from 3 to 5pm at the Volunteer Centre of Guelph/Wellington, 46 Cork St. E., Unit 1.
