We’re excited to welcome two new members to our Board of Directors at Fighting Blindness Canada (FBC): Andrew McFarlane and Evelyn Reynolds! Andrew brings extensive not-for-profit and corporate governance experience, while Evelyn adds in-depth expertise in strategy, governance, brand-building and an entrepreneurial vision to our board. And both share a deep connection to our cause.
We’re also grateful for the continued leadership of our current Board members, including Marco Fillion, C.Dir, FCIA, FSA, Geoff R. Hall, and Byron Sonberg CPA, CA, MBA, ICD.D, as well as Tara James, George Sheen, Mike Harwood, CHRE, Tiffany Goodlet, Mary Ashbourne Smith, Selena Friesen, James Riley, Mike Seed, and Tahir Shafiq, MBA, FEC, P.Eng.
Together, their insights and passion will help drive our mission forward, and help us fund world-class vision research, support individuals living with vision loss, and create lasting impact across Canada.
We’d also like to thank our outgoing directors. Dr. Michel Cayouette has been a peerless scientific ambassador for Fighting Blindness Canada since 2014. Michael Minos, who joined the Board in 2022, brought a strong strategic and analytical lens to our mission. Finally, Dr. Deepa Yoganathan, MD FRCSC, has been a member of FBC’s Board since 2019 and served as an important external champion of our mission through her professional standing and leadership in the ophthalmology community.
