Four senior executives in the charitable sector have been named as 2000 recipients of Muttart Fellowships. Each will leave their agency for one year to undertake a special project of interest and concern to the charitable sector. This year's Fellows are: Naomi Hjertaas is Chief Executive Officer of the
Redvers Activity Centre in Redvers, Saskatchewan. Ms. Hjertaas developed
a resource which describes tools, products, techniques and other
resources that are currently being successfully used to assist individuals
with developmental disabilities. Ms Hertaas compiled her work into
a website, which you may visit at:
Sharon McFall took her Fellowship while Executive Director of the Boyle McCauley Health Centre in Edmonton, Alberta. Mrs. McFall studied the impact of expectations and demands on executive directors in the not for profit sector in Canada. Her work focused on the passion that executive directors exhibit in their work and which is prevalent in their difficult work. Mrs. McFall also discovered her own passion of quilting while on Fellowship, and presented to the Board of the Muttart Foundation a quilt, measuring 33” by 140”, made of 365 pieces of seasonally changing coloured fabrics, representing her Fellowship year.
Michael McKernan is Director of Counseling Services at Catholic Family Services in Calgary, Alberta. Mr. McKernan examined the impact of incorporating the spiritual perspective into organizations in the not for profit sector. The author explored many spiritual, religious and theological perspectives during his Fellowship year, and his book discusses the opportunities available to family service agencies to acknowledge the spiritual realm of their clients’ lives.
Robert Sims is Executive Director of Saskatoon Crisis Intervention Service in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Mr. Sims examined issues arising in the not for profit sector as a result of staff aging in the workplace. He researched demographic data and interviewed many organizations on their experiences of a changing and aging workplace, and created a presentation which he has shared with different not for profit organizations.
The Muttart Foundation will provide the Fellows' agencies with grants to cover the salary and benefit costs of the Fellows while they are away. In addition, each Fellowship carries an award of up to $17,500 to cover other expenses incurred in completing the Fellows' project. Fellowships are awarded each year.
