Alison is an advocate for community work and volunteerism.  She believes that our community is what we make it which has led her to being a dedicated volunteer for over 25 years.  By working together to support and help each other and promote positive change, we will build strong communities that encourage diversity and inclusion.   

In her prior roles as Chief Operating Officer and Manager of Finance and Accounting, Alison has developed strong business development skills which allow her to focus on facilitating and growing relationships between Making Change and the local business community. Her extensive bookkeeping and accounting experience makes her an asset as the Treasurer of Making Change.  Currently she is also a Board member of Barrie & District Christmas Cheer, the Innisfil Lions Club, the Tottenham & District Community Recreation Improvement Committee (C.R.I.C.) and a long-time volunteer in local politics at federal, provincial and municipal levels.
