October 5, 2009 - The Champlain Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) is pleased to introduce its new community-based Board of Directors.
Returning members – Board Chair Lynn Graham, Marilyn Barry, Jean Brisson, Barbara
Lajeunesse and Michael Tate – have been joined by Denise Alcock, Jocelyne Constant, J. Michael Ennis, Bob Kulas, Louise Logue, Ralph Moxness and Anne Noonan. Members were elected at the Champlain CCAC’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on Wednesday, September 30, 2009 in Ottawa. This was the Champlain CCAC’s first AGM following CCACs’
April 1, 2009 move from Order in Council appointed boards to community boards.
“Our new Board of Directors is comprised of respected community leaders who have a wide
range of expertise and represent diverse cultures and geographies across the Champlain
region,” said Ms. Graham, who will remain Chair of the Board. “Each of us brings a unique
perspective to the table and I look forward to working with this board, which will lead the Champlain CCAC into the future.”
“The move to a community board will provide us with better capacity to address our
continually expanding role in the health care system and to advance home and community
care for the citizens of Champlain,” said Champlain CCAC Chief Executive Officer Sheila Bauer.
“This is another integral step to helping us realize our vision of Outstanding Care – every
person, every day.”
