Treasurer

Catherine is a lifetime Lethbridge resident and an active volunteer in the community. She attended the University of Lethbridge and obtained a CGA designation. Upon joining the United Way board of directors in 2018, she put those skills to work as the Treasurer.

Giving time and skills is an important part of Catherine’s life as she volunteers to support not only United Way, but also the Lethbridge Symphony’s annual Love Notes event, and serves as a member of the Rotary Club of Lethbridge Urban Spirits.

In her spare time, Catherine can often be found reading, practicing yoga, or cross-country running.

United Way Funding Priorities

Poverty To Possibility

Poverty is a far-reaching, complex issue, and a lasting one. Once in the cycle of poverty, it is extremely difficult to overcome and can affect future generations. United Way is committed to ensuring access to immediate support for families and individuals.

Healthy People, Strong Communities

The focus of healthy people, strong communities is to engage and mobilize residents to take collective action to improve access to, and increase the availability of resources needed to revitalize and strengthen neighborhoods.

All That Kids Can Be

Children and youth are the future of our communities. To become successful, independent adults, children and youth need a good start in life, access to early literacy and development programs, positive school experiences during the middle years and to graduate from high school.
