Congratulations to Martha Harley on receiving the 2014 William Winegard Exemplary Volunteer Involvement Award today from the United Way of Guelph Wellington Dufferin and the Volunteer Centre of Guelph/Wellington.

Martha helped lead U of G to become the first Canadian university to partner with World University Service of Canada and the Leave for Change program, which encourages employees to volunteer for assignments in developing countries. As a volunteer with Hospice Wellington, she helps with policy-writing and strategic planning, and offers practical advice to an organization lacking full-time human resources expertise.  Martha also serves on the board of the Macdonald Stewart Art Centre and offers pro bono professional advice to local not-for-profit organizations.
