WDMH Foundation Executive Director Announced
The WDMH Foundation Board of Directors is pleased to share that it has unanimously approved Cindy Ault Peters as our permanent Executive Director. Cindy has been the acting Executive Director since last fall and was the successful candidate after a lengthy recruitment process.
Cindy is a familiar face at Winchester District Memorial Hospital (WDMH) and in the community. She has worked at the WDMH Foundation for the past seven years – as Manager of Direct Mail & Events, Campaign Assistant for the new Dundas Manor and, most recently, Donor Relations Specialist. Before working at the Foundation, Cindy’s past experience includes roles in communications, project management, and education.
“Everyone Cindy has interacted with has been impressed with her work as Interim Executive Director and she was the most skilled of all the candidates we interviewed. With the WDMH Foundation team and our incredible donors, Cindy has led many successful initiatives including setting a Canadian record with The Grand Parade and raising $189,000 in a single evening at a Dundas Manor Gala," says Trisha Elliott, WDMH Foundation Board Chair. "Her dedication to collaborating with our community’s most committed members to build the new Dundas Manor and secure essential hospital equipment is inspiring."
“I am truly honoured to step into the role of Executive Director and excited for the journey ahead. Both WDMH and Dundas Manor hold a special place in my heart, and I look forward to working alongside our amazing team, donors, and community partners to continue making a meaningful impact,” adds Cindy Ault Peters. “Together, we will build on our successes, embrace new opportunities, and continue supporting excellence in health care for years to come.”
Welcome to your new role Cindy!
