For the remainder of this year, Teresa will gradually reduce her involvement in ADRA Canada and increase her work with ADRA International until the transition reaches completion in January of 2026. Her former department will be led by interim director Lyle Notice, who was recently brought on as the department\u2019s Associate Director. The search for a new department director will be ongoing in the meantime until it is filled.<\/p><p>Teresa has made a name for herself as an extremely dynamic, determined, and enthusiastic leader. Under her guidance, the PhilM department strengthened relationships with donors, expanded ADRA\u2019s visibility across Canada, and launched initiatives that inspired a more profound connection to ADRA\u2019s mission of justice, compassion, and love.<\/p><p>\u201cTeresa has been a highly valued member of the ADRA Canada team,\u201d said Steve Matthews, Executive Director of ADRA Canada. \u201cADRA International\u2019s decision to appoint her as Vice President of Strategic Engagement &amp; Growth is a testament to the skill and professionalism that Teresa brings. While we are saddened to lose her as part of our team, I am glad she is filling a critical position for the ADRA network. I wish her all the best in this new endeavour and look forward to the many contributions she will bring to her new role.\u201d<\/p><p>In her new role at ADRA International, Teresa will oversee global strategies for engagement and growth, uniting marketing, development, and strategic partnerships across the ADRA network, and strengthening ADRA\u2019s mission worldwide.<\/p><p>The ADRA Canada team expresses its deepest gratitude for Teresa\u2019s dedication, creativity, and faith-driven leadership. While her presence and partnership will be greatly missed, we are confident that her new role will further advance ADRA\u2019s global commitment to serving humanity so all may live as God intended.<\/p><p>Congratulations, Teresa!
