Lethbridge is pleased
to welcome Kathleen
Sheppard as its new
Executive Director.
“We are very excited to have Kathleen join the
Environment Lethbridge team,” says Mike Spencer, Chair
of Environment Lethbridge’s Executive Committee. “We
have big plans for the next three years, and I know that
Kathleen’s skills and experience will be crucial in ensuring
Environment Lethbridge’s success.”
Originally from Southern Alberta, Kathleen brings
more than 25 years of experience in the non-profit sector
to Environment Lethbridge. Most recently, she was the
Executive Director with Social Planning Cowichan, located
in Duncan, B.C. Prior to that, she worked as the Director
of Operations for The Land Conservancy of B.C. Kathleen
has a bachelor of science in geography and biology, and a
certificate in nonprofit and voluntary sector management.
“I am thrilled to be joining Environment Lethbridge at this
critical time,” Kathleen says. “I look forward to working with
local businesses, government, and community members to
establish Lethbridge as a leader in sustainability.”
During the upcoming year, Environment Lethbridge will
focus on providing information and resources related to
waste reduction and recycling. Among the first tasks for
Environment Lethbridge’s new Executive Director will be to
develop sustainability benchmarks, to establish a one-stop
hub for sustainability information, and to collaborate with
local community partners to promote existing sustainability
initiatives.
Established in 2013, Environment Lethbridge inspires
and equips people to create widespread community
action and engagement towards sustainability. Environment
Lethbridge is always looking to involve the community
in the work it does. Community members and anyone
who wishes to volunteer are encouraged to contact
