On June 26th, 2023 the Board of Directors, along with CHCN staff, held its Annual General Meeting and celebrated fifteen years of serving the community! Did you know – our first client was seen in the spring of 2008 in a small, temporary store-front location? Now, fifteen years later our programs have grown, our staffing numbers have grown, and the number of Northumberland County residents that we serve continues to grow!
At the event in June, each of our teams set up displays to showcase the great work they are doing. They were able to engage with community members during this open house before the official AGM started. Here are some of the things we heard;
“I had no idea how much you do here, I can’t wait to join an exercise class!”, and “My wife and I have been coming here since 2009, we are so appreciative of all that you do!”
These are the comments that excite us, that make us proud and that energize our teams to keep being innovative.
During the Annual General Meeting, the Board of Directors was able to celebrate its achievements over the last year, highlight future goals for the upcoming year, and thank some dedicated colleagues that were ending their term. The Board and the staff would like to thank Lynda Miller, Heidi Schaeffer, Karl vom Dorff and Doug Smith for their many contributions to the CHCN and the CHCN Board.
A big thanks as well to Anna Cooper who has completed her tenure as Board Chair, but is fortunately staying on the Board as past-Chair. We truly appreciate our Board’s dedication to the Mission, Vision and Values of the Community Health Centres of Northumberland.
