Introducing the new Co-CEO's of Calgary Meals on Wheels

Dear Calgary Meals on Wheels Stakeholders,

On behalf of the Board of Directors for Calgary Meals on Wheels, I wish to announce that after over 13 years of steady leadership, Janice Curtis has decided to step back from the Executive Director role. However, she will not be leaving us fully, as she will remain in a transitional capacity to ensure our organization continues its successful work reducing food insecurity in our city.

After much consideration, the Board is pleased to announce that Calgary Meals on Wheels will move to a contemporary leadership model, as of May 16, with Co-CEO’s Janice Curtis and Stephane Ralph. As we look to the future our Board of Directors recognizes the benefit of two executive leaders whose diverse strengths will be effective in our ever-changing environment. Stephanie is no stranger to Meals on Wheels as she has been part of creating our strategies and direction at the leadership level as our Manager of Philanthropy & Communications for 7 years. Collectively, Janice and Stephanie bring a wealth of knowledge of our position in the food security and non-profit sector. We are delighted to have two respected internal leaders share this role.

At Calgary Meals on Wheels, we believe everyone deserves to be well-fed. Our strategic goals for the next year are set, and our co-leads are excited to embark on this new leadership model. Together, Janice and Stephanie are poised to navigate the complexity of our daily operations. They are ready to build strategies for the future as we continue to deliver our services throughout our city.

Sincerely,

Tim Gillespie, Board Chair Calgary Meals on Wheels
