John,
I thought you might be interested to hear about all
the exciting changes that have been happening at the PPC headquarter
in the past few weeks.
We now have a larger team, with experienced and
dedicated people who will be able to offer more services to our
volunteers in local associations across the country.
Here are the four major changes we’ve made to staffing:
1. Nathan McMillan has assumed the role of Executive
Director from Daniel Tyrie.
Nathan is a political
strategist, campaign manager, and training consultant. With over
two-decades of experience, he has helped elect candidates at all three
levels of government.
In 2018 he founded Campaign Desk Inc., a
one-stop shop providing strategy, communications and campaign support
to the political and non-profit sectors.
Nathan joined the PPC
staff in 2021 as Chief Information Officer responsible for tech, data,
and training.
“The expectation from our candidates and members
is clear,” said Nathan. “That we continue building this organization
from coast-to-coast while equipping them with the resources necessary
to mount an effective opposition to the Liberal-NDP-Conservative
'uniparty'. I look forward to hearing from our members directly on how
we can better work together.”
2. Evy Lacroix has been
hired as Project Coordinator.
Evy joined the PPC
during the 2019 elections to support as campaign manager to her local
candidate and later assumed the role of CEO within her local
association. In this capacity, she successfully expanded the
association's structure through numerous effective events and
fundraising efforts.
Evy also undertook various short-term
contracts with PPC HQ, including candidate vetting, association
mergers, and her most recent role as National Conference Coordinator.
Having raised five children, Evy honed her skills in
coordination and negotiation, which will be invaluable in her new
objective: facilitating improved and consistent communication between
HQ and its associations.
3. After a year’s absence,
Travis Morris is back in the team as Compliance Manager.
Travis became involved with the PPC during the party's
inception in 2018 by becoming a key organizer in the London and
Midwestern Ontario regions.
He joined PPC HQ as an
administrative assistant in 2020 and later served as Director of
Internal Operations for two years.
As Compliance Manager, his
mission will be to help the Party’s national team and local
associations fulfill their numerous legal and financial obligations
required by Elections Canada, so as to be better equipped to provide a
strong alternative at the next election.
4. Adrian
Dzikowski has been promoted to National Director of Operations &
Strategy.
Adrian's professional experience in
strategic planning, process improvement, and organizational
development will be instrumental in propelling our national operations
forward.
In this new role, he will oversee all aspects of our
national organization, ensuring efficient workflows and alignment with
the party's strategic goals.
Adrian will also be instrumental
in developing a comprehensive candidate management framework,
fostering a culture of continuous improvement and evaluating plans and
proposals through a meritocratic system.
He is committed to
fostering a collaborative environment where everyone feels comfortable
accessing his expertise and guidance.
John, with
these changes, and the contribution from our other full- and part-time
staffers, we now have a larger and strengthened team that will be
better able to face the many challenges of building a young
party.
What we still need to ensure the success
of this endeavour is YOUR SUPPORT.
Because
let’s face it: Without the generous donations from our members, we
simply have no means to pay our staff, organize events across the
country, buy advertisement, or manage an election campaign.
John, please show your support to our
dedicated staff by donating $100, or only $10 if that’s all you can
afford today.
Every amount is important, and
every donation is very much appreciated!
Thank you!
-Max
