Leadership has shifted at the Vernon Women’s Transition House Society.
Ninke Beeksma takes over as executive director from Debby Hamilton who held the position for 12 years.
“I’m impressed with the variety of excellent programs offered by the society, as well as the wonderful and caring staff,” said Beeksma.
“My objective of having a positive impact with the organization’s success through hands-on-leadership, efficient operations and a respectful work environment where employees can thrive” is certain to have a powerful impact in the future of the society.”
Beeksma has an education in business and experience in planning, development, implementation and control of financial and human resources management functions in the non-profit sector.
Hamilton is taking up new duties with the Community Co-ordination for Women’s Safety, which provides training and supports to communities to enhance responses to violence against women.
Beeksma is impressed with Hamilton’s contributions to Transition House.
“Debby achieved many successes, including developing stable support for the programs provided to the community,” said Beeksma.
