Diana Brown, Executive Director of the MacPhee Centre - Members Statement

CLAUDIA CHENDER « » : Speaker, I rise to recognize Diana Brown for her appointment as the executive director of the MacPhee Centre for Creative Learning. The MacPhee Centre seeks to empower youth through arts in a welcoming, inclusive environment. They envision a world where empathy and diversity thrive, and challenges are opportunities for growth.

During the recent search for a permanent executive director, Diana seamlessly stepped into the interim role, demonstrating exceptional leadership and a deep understanding of the centre's mission and values. Making art is a transformative process and a powerful tool for youth to understand themselves and their place in the world.

Diana's passion for arts education, strong leadership skills, and extensive knowledge of the Centre will guide the youth of Dartmouth and beyond in these processes.

Please join me in congratulating Diana and congratulating Dartmouth South on this well-deserved appointment.
