FSC Board Member Paddy Ramsingh is retiring as Executive Director of Family Services of Peel. During her time with the agency, she has made considerable contributions to her local community and the sector.
Paddy joined Family Services of Peel as Executive Director in May 2006. As ED, she has strengthened its organizational capacity, including increasing community collaboration and service to the community, as well as building strong internal systems. She says her proudest accomplishment is the supports her agency has built to address significant gaps in service including: elder abuse; supports for seniors from the South Asian community; employment support for people with disabilities; services for male survivors of childhood abuse; and counselling and group support for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans community.
Paddy has served on the Board of Directors for Family Service Canada as Treasurer for the past year. She was the agency representative on the United Way of Peel Region Campaign Cabinet Committee for the 2009 campaign year.
Paddy feels very fortunate that, as a resident of Peel, she has been able to build services in her own community.
Congratulations, Paddy!!! Thank you so much for your many contributions to the sector. Enjoy your retirement.
