“On behalf of The Board of Directors, we’re extremely pleased to appoint Sarah Flemming as the new Executive Director, starting August 31st, 2020” announced Raj Makkar, United Way of Colchester Board Chairperson. “Sarah has a wealth of experience working with the Non-Profit sector including the Colchester Sexual Assault Centre and Canadian Mental Health Association – Colchester East-Hants.”

“I believe in the great work that United Way brings to Colchester County,” states Flemming. “I am excited to see all the new ways in which we can learn and grow together to create better opportunities for everyone in our community.”
