Thunder Bay Community Foundation Welcomes New CEO
“I’m excited to begin my new role as the CEO and to get the opportunity to work our donors and to show them the impact they have on our community. I look forward to helping to nurture their passions, hearing what they want to do with their donations and ensuring their intentions are matched with the needs of building our community. Being able to communicate and show donors how their generous gifts are benefitting and enriching the lives of people in our community is of utmost importance to me and is one of my top priorities,” says Kreiner.
