BC Care Providers is thrilled to announce the promotions of three staff members who will be taking on new responsibilities to support the continued growth of BCCPA and EngAge BC.
Effective today, Rebecca Frederick has taken on the position of Director of EngAge BC. While Marjahn O’Connor will start her new role as Programs Supervisor and Snezana Ristovski’ s role expands to Director of Programs and Organizational Development.
Rebecca Frederick was seconded to the role of Senior Manager, Strategic Engagement at EngAge BC in 2019 to oversee the launch of BC Care Providers Association’s new operating arm. Since then, she has worked closely with EngAge BC’s Member Council with priorities to endeavour the growth of the association’s membership while supporting advocacy efforts on key files, which includes those related to COVID-19.
As Director of EngAge BC, Rebecca looks forward to launching the association’s new Assurity program, continuing to grow Route 65 and working on the issues that matter most to EngAge BC’s membership.
Snezana Ristovski joined BCCPA in 2017 as Director of Programs to develop the departments first Senior Safety and Quality Improvement Program. From there on, the programs’ suite has strategically grown to assist in sector health care shortages, support operators with IPC, safety and quality funding including music programs, partner on energy efficiencies and rebates, as well as expand programs to help guide the public searching for seniors’ living and wellness options.
Throughout her tenure and as the association grows, Snezana has kept HR organizational development aspects in mind and is looking forward to further cultivate programs delivered outside of the organization and internally for employees as well. One of her favourite quotes with a spin is, “you don’t build an organization – you build the people – and then the people build the organization”.
In 2019, Marjahn O’Connor joined EngAge BC & BCCPA as a Programs Advisor. She came aboard to assist with the expansion of the Programs portfolio, particularly the launch of Route 65. Since joining the association, the EngAge BC & BCCPA Programs portfolios have grown and expanded to a suite of diverse programs that benefit our membership and broader sector. The current programs portfolio has now grown to include EquipCare BC, Route 65, the HCA Training Program, Assurity, as well as additional programs underway.
Marjahn looks forward to supporting the continued growth, development and successful delivery of these programs.
Terry Lake, CEO of BCCPA and EngAge BC, would like to congratulate Rebecca, Snezana and Marjahn on their new positions, “Congratulations on your new positions, we truly appreciate your dedication and efforts contributed to the development of the association, we hope for continued growth together as a team to provide the best support to our seniors’ community.”
