The foundation made this announcement on Wednesday, saying that Susan Auchterlonie was elected as president, succeeding Bill Anglin who finished his term at the end of August.

Before becoming president, Auchterlonie worked as executive director of the Comox Valley Community Foundation and was part of the North Island College Foundation.

Auchterlonie says she is delighted to work with the community in this role and looks forward to continuing the foundation’s momentum.
