CPCN Welcomes Three New Directors  Heightened
public awareness about the benefits of support groups (not to mention the
growing prestige of the CPCN) is evident when you are introduced to the
three newest members of the CPCN Board of Directors: William Kennedy, Murray
Gordon, and David Stanger (pictured opposite). The men also represent the
geographic reach of our organization, coming as they do from eastern, central,
and western Canada.William Kennedy has recently retired from the Faculty of Education at Memorial University in St. John's, Newfoundland, but you wouldn't know it from his schedule. He seems to be continuing uninterrupted his more than 25-year career of researching, writing, and teaching in the fields of education and counselling psychology. Kennedy is a published author, and he is currently researching a history of counselling in Newfoundland. As well, he is completing an SSHRC-funded study of the effects of natural resource depletion on the health and education of people in several Newfoundland and Nova Scotia communities. In spite of this busy "retirement," Kennedy remains active in professional and community-based organizations in the province. Two things of particular relevance are his service as vice-chair of the Health and Community Services Board, St. John's Region, and his chairmanship of the Prostate Cancer Division of the Canadian Cancer Society.  Murray Gordon, a prostate cancer survivor, hails from Carp, Ontario. (He is pictured opposite.) Before retiring, he worked for 27 years with Agriculture Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). Prior to that, he worked in private practice. Over his long career in veterinary medicine, Murray has served on numerous national organizations. He was Chief Auditor and Associate Director of Field Services for the National Animal Health Program, and he served on the national executive of the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association for four years. Since "retiring" and managing to spend "a fair bit of time at the curling rink," Gordon has served the prostate cancer community as well. He has been co-chair of the Regional Cancer Program's Community Advocacy Committee and is currently a member of the steering committee of the Prostate Cancer Association of Ottawa. David Stanger, a Toronto native who now splits his time between offices in Langley and Calgary, is one of Canada's best-known media professionals, having spent more than 30 years in the Canadian advertising industry. Stanger's contributions to the media profession were recognized in 2004, when his colleagues presented him with the "Audrey" award. In 1997, after 15 years with the firm Baker Lovick, Stanger established his own independent media company (DSA). The firm specializes in media research, media planning, and retail marketing. Stanger has a life-long interest in teaching and in media research. He regularly lectures at universities across the country, and he spent 17 years as a marketing and media instructor at the British Columbia Institute of Technology. He also served for three years as chair of ComBase, North America's largest media study and an initiative of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association. From psychology to veterinary science to advertising, and from east to west, our new directors bring a wide range of experiences and talents to the CPCN Board. |
