PRIDE
MAY 24 – JUNE 2
2
Excitement is building at Pride
Winnipeg, which currently has
a full team made up of more
than 30 individuals on the
board and staff.
For the first year in a long time, every
volunteer position is filled for the
organization's teams. And thanks to
funding from a provincial grant to expand
operations, Pride Winnipeg was able to hire
an executive director as its first ever paid
contractor.
Sean Irvine, the new executive director of
Pride Winnipeg, brings a unique set of skills
to the organization.
"For over a decade, I'd worked as an
educator alongside the completion of
my doctoral research. With being the
executive director of Pride Winnipeg, this
background informs my approach to
serving the organization and community
as a whole," says Irvine, who is working
towards a doctorate in jazz studies from
the University of Toronto.
"I deeply value fostering spaces built on
education, listening, communication,
patience and growth — looking to the
community and knowledge
they provide for guidance
on the best course
of action when it
comes to making
decisions."
At the same time,
Irvine recognizes
the importance
of sensitivity,
compassion and
empathy in his
role.
