The United Way of Fort McMurray and Wood Buffalo has a new President.
Its Board of Directors voted unanimously in support of Jordanna Lambert at their meeting on July 22.
Lambert shared her excitement about her new role with the organization.
“United Way FMWB currently funds 25 agencies and over 40 programs during a period of time when lots of individuals and families need support. We have a fantastic team of Directors who are ready to work with our community partners to positively impact Wood Buffalo.”
