Okanagan College has chosen a new leader for its fundraising efforts.
Helen Jackman will join the College as Executive Director of the Okanagan College Foundation and Director of Advancement June 10.
Jackman replaces Kathy Butler, who retired in late 2018.
“The College has a great reputation in terms of its service to the region and I know that a major reason is the community support it has attracted to help build campuses, programs and student supports. I’m excited to be stepping into the fundraising role at this juncture as the College continues to grow,” says Jackman, who is leaving her role as the Executive Director of United Way Southern Interior BC to join the College. “I’ve looked carefully at where I wanted to take my next career step. It had to be somewhere that I could devote myself to long-term, and something that would allow me to contribute to building the region I’m calling home. Okanagan College offered that opportunity.”
