BOARD VOICES: SHARING OUR STORIES
Our Board members bring a wide range of experiences, perspectives, and personal journeys that help shape the heart of our organization. Through this series, we invite you to get to know the people behind the decisions — why they care about seniors, what inspires them, and the stories that guide their commitment to community.

KYLE WHITFIELD’S STORY
HOW I DISCOVERED WESENIORS.CA
Improving WE Seniors: We need your perspective
I am a new Director, and you might wonder why I am interested in being a member of the Board at WE Seniors. In essence, I love being around people. I especially enjoy the company of older adults, a group in which I am part. I recently turned 59, and being 60 is just around the corner.
I am a researcher at the University of Alberta, and I am very interested in “change” and “improving things”. To do this means I have to be inquisitive and ask questions like why, what if, and how. I love finding new ideas and enjoy working with others to put those into practice and making them real. I believe that action cannot happen unless those who are affected by the ideas are involved in a communication process together.
As a decision-maker, I’d like to open up communication with you, and I invite you to talk about what things could be improved. So please think about the “why”, the “what if…” and the “how,” then tell me what needs improving and why.
Email me your ideas at Ky**@*******rs.ca
