After more than 23 years of leadership, John F. Spekkens has retired as President and Chief Executive Officer of The Hincks-Dellcrest Centre.
John’s expertise, commitment, and vision have enabled The Hincks-Dellcrest Centre to make a significant and lasting difference in the lives of countless children and families. We thank John for his contributions to The Centre and to the field of children’s mental health.
We are pleased to announce that Donna Duncan has joined The Hincks-Dellcrest Centre as Interim President & CEO. Donna will work with The Hincks-Dellcrest Centre’s staff, board, partners, and other stakeholders to renew the Centre’s organizational vision and establish a framework for recruitment of a permanent President & CEO.
Known as a strategic and creative thinker and a team‑builder, Donna brings more than 20 years of experience working with government and the broader public sector, both as an employee and as president of her own company. She has served on transition teams and, with a focus on development of strategic, sustainable relationships, has provided support to a wide variety of organizations through decision‑making cycles and processes.
Donna also played a key role in positioning the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) to receive government approvals and funding to launch its $400 million redevelopment project in 2006.
Please join us in welcoming Donna Duncan to The Hincks-Dellcrest Centre as we look to the future with unwavering commitment to the children, families, and communities that we serve.
