Three senior executives in the charitable sector have been named as the 2002 recipients of Muttart Fellowships. Each will leave their agency for one year to undertake a special project of interest and of concern to the charitable sector. This year’s Fellows are: Karen Bruce is executive director of the Alberta Safety Council in Edmonton. Ms. Bruce undertook research into the management of major organizational change within a charitable agency. She focused upon mergers between organizations, and presents several case studies. Her work is in the pre-publication phase.
Anne Campbell is executive director of the YWCA in Saskatoon, SK. Ms. Campbell spent her Fellowship year researching planning for not-for-profits. She has developed a workbook outlining many facets of planning, such as organizational language and theory, the roles of volunteer board governance and leadership in strategic change, and various methodologies of strategic planning exercises. This book also looks at creating a civil society, organizations as living systems, essential elements of planning, and the methodology for scenario and strategic planning.
Hadassah Ksienski is chief executive officer of the Calgary Immigrant Aid Society. During her Fellowship year, Ms Ksienski undertook research on how charities can better recruit and retain volunteers from ethnic communities. She conducted a survey of volunteers which provided information on barriers, challenges as well as opportunities that people from different ethnic communities perceived in volunteering.
The Muttart Foundation will provide the Fellows’ agencies with grants to cover the salary and benefits 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 while completing their projects. Fellowships are awarded each year.
