I have known Joanne for over a decade, as a friend, and in many professional roles. During my time as co-chair of the Avalon Sexual Assault Centre, I appreciated Joanne’s proficiency, dedication, and vision. She brings her values to her competencies and was a just and collaborative leader. This was not surprising to me given her longstanding personal commitment to building inclusive and just systems and structures into society. But her strategic vision, relational approach, and functional leadership skill were crucial underpinnings to her impact.
