Meet Dave Stevenson We are fortunate to have so many skilled and caring individuals who serve as our Board Members. Each month we will share with you a regular feature to introduce these individuals to you. This month we will feature the Acting Treasurer on our Board of Directors, Dave Stevenson.... Dave holds an Honours Bachelor of Mathematics (Major in Actuarial Science and Minor in Statistics) from the University of Waterloo. He has extensive management experience, managing financial reporting, product development, marketing strategy, transition planning, and project management. Following a 20 year career in the financial and insurance sector, Dave has held several executive positions with the Bank of Montreal, Canada Direct, RBC Insurance and the Royal Bank Financial Group. Why is a financial expert interested in Community Care? I wanted to contribute in some small way in helping to shape and enrich the community, to help it achieve its potential, said Stevenson. Given the demographics of Peterborough, the acknowledgement of my own ageing, and the fact that Transition Navigators caters to the elderly, I found Community Care to be a natural fit. Since joining the board in 2019, and now chairs its Finance Committee, Dave’s focus is to help achieve a stable funding model, so planning can be more sure-footed well into the future. This is even more crucial now that government funding becomes less and less predictable. To read the full editorial on Dave Stevenson visit -https://www.commcareptbo.org/about%20us/Board%20Members
