The resource oppurtunities centre is pleased to welcome and introduce our new Executive Director, Patricia J. Ullman. For the past several months, the board worked collaboratively to challenge our past model of operation and explore new and exciting options for the future. After careful deliberation, it was decided that in order to achieve our goals and objectives of maintaining a grass-roots, community-based organization that promoted growth and sustainability, we needed a strategic leader at the helm to guide our decisions and resources in the right direction. After an extensive search that involved members from our board, consultation from staff at HRM and leaders from outside of the community, we met with a select number of skilled candidates. From those candidates, Patricia stood out to the selection committee as an ideal candidate for our new position of Executive Director. Patricia has an extensive and impressive resume in fund development, community outreach and executive leadership.
