Bev’s believes that everyone should be given equal opportunity to function as a contributing member of their community, and her passion for providing wrap-around supports to persons with a variety of barriers has led to her growth as a Vocational Planning Counsellor into her current dual role as Chief Mission Advancement Officer and Executive Director for Goodwill’s Career Centres.
