BALANCE Annual Public Meeting

Thank You!

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for the BALANCE Annual Public Meeting on June 23, 2025. It was a powerful evening filled with connection, reflection, and vision for the future.

We were honoured to hear a special farewell address from our retiring CEO, Dr. Deborah Gold, as she looked back on her 44-year career dedicated to advancing equity, disability rights, and inclusion. The meeting also included Annual Reports from Board Chair, CEO and Treasurer, Tom Dekker and Volunteer  of the Year Award Presentations and the formal introduction of BALANCE’s incoming CEO, Michelle McQuigge.
