The COVID-19 Pandemic has undeniably disrupted almost all of our lives. Along with the rest of the world's business sectors, many social service organizations have found themselves operating with far from normal business models. This episode is very timely with the current situation. Host, Douglas Nelson, talks with the Executive Director of the BC Center for Disease Control Foundation for Public Health, Kristy Kerr. Here, Kristy shares with us the response that her organization has been taking in the face of the COVID-19 Pandemic. She takes us to the early days of planning and preparation for the emergency situation and the ways they have been motivating their donors to make gifts to the emergency response fund. In this time of uncertainty, organizations such as the BCCDC Foundation must hold up and show people that there is light at the end of the Pandemic. Tune in to this insightful conversation.
