Sheryl brings to LEAF a history of innovative and successful management in diverse roles including as President of the Federation of Women Teachers&rsquo; Associations of Ontario, school principal, Member of the Premier&rsquo;s Council on Race Relations and many roles within the York Region District School Board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we near the end of our 25th Anniversary year, we look to our future and are excited by the experience and energy Sheryl brings to implement LEAF&rsquo;s vision. &nbsp;This year has been eventful, successful and challenging. &nbsp;Our litigation is at an all time high: &nbsp;we intervened in 6 cases, received positive decisions in 3 cases and await judgment in 2. Law reform efforts are equally busy and we have commented or submitted briefs on 4 pieces of federal and provincial legislation, as well as participating in many public forums. &nbsp;We continue to roll out our new Education Program: LEAF at Work. Our Youth Commission report will be released later this spring.&nbsp; We&rsquo;re holding an Equality Day Celebration in Toronto on June 1st.&nbsp; We&rsquo;re organizing a symposium on the under-representation of women in federal politics with Equal Voice in Toronto on June 3rd.&nbsp; And, of course, many hundreds will again attend our Person&rsquo;s Day Breakfasts across the country this fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have achieved all this during a year of transition in our national office, and we thank all staff, volunteers and supporters for their invaluable assistance and patience. &nbsp;We take this opportunity to bid farewell to Mary Wells, Tamar Witelson and Audia Johnson, and we thank them for their service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sheryl Hoshizaki begins with LEAF on April 8, 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact Sheryl:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>e-mail: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; s.hoshizaki@leaf.ca<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>toll free phone:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1 (888) 824-5323, ext. 225<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>local phone: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 1 (416) 595-7170 ext. 225,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the interim please direct any National office queries to Marilyn Roycroft at m.roycroft@leaf.ca, or the above phone numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><b>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leaf.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" shape=\"rect\">www.leaf.ca<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1606","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry","category-media-releases"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>LEAF Appoints New Executive Director - LEAF<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.leaf.ca\/fr\/news\/leaf-appoints-new-executive-director\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"fr_FR\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"LEAF Appoints New Executive Director - LEAF\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"LEAF&rsquo;s Board of Directors invites you to join us in welcoming Sheryl Hoshizaki as our new Executive Director. &nbsp;Sheryl is a lifelong feminist and advocate for the rights of women and children. &nbsp;She comes to us from the international humanitarian organization Right to Play, where she serves as Deputy Director of Educational and Aboriginal Initiatives.
