GBA Announces a Leadership Transition
After many years of tireless service, Rupert Kindersley is hanging up his hat as Executive Director of the Georgian Bay Association. Rupert joined the GBA board in 2008, serving until 2018 when he took on the role of Executive Director. For the past six years, Rupert has been the heartbeat of our organization, driving our mission to protect and preserve Georgian Bay. We’re grateful for his dedication, passion, and leadership and wish him well as he steps into retirement. Rupert will continue to act in an advisory role to help ensure a seamless transition.
The GBA Board is pleased to announce that Allison Needham has agreed to step into the role of Interim Executive Director. Allison is a lifelong cottager on Georgian Bay and has served on the GBA Board and as editor of our UPDATE newsletter. Her familiarity with the organization and her expertise in the communications field will ensure continuity in supporting members and advancing key initiatives.
Join us in wishing Rupert a retirement and welcoming Allison as she assumes her new role.
