Hello, my name is Laurie Morin and I am the Alberta Provincial Manager for Roots of Empathy. Throughout my career, I have worked with non-profit organizations such as the YMCA, Community Options, Bissell Centre, Chimo and AdaptAbilities. I have supervised and trained staff and volunteers, collaborated with community organizations, written monthly reports for funders, year-end reports, budgeting, and individual service plans. I enjoy learning and have participated in the Management Essentials Program and the 5 Behaviours of a Cohesive Team training. My experience working with children, youth and families from diverse cultural and socio-economic backgrounds has fostered my development of skills in areas such as communication, collaboration, innovation, and organization.
