After three plus years as Executive Director of Island Nature Trust, Bianca McGregor is leaving us to assume the position of CEO of the Charlottetown Chamber of Commerce. Her last day with the trust was Friday, January 12.

During her time at INT Bianca has made many contributions to our success and culture. She has shepherded the exponential growth of our land holdings and leaves the trust with a solid administrative and financial foundation.

While we’re going to miss her dearly, we wholeheartedly support Bianca’s decision to enjoy this new opportunity. The board and staff of Island Nature Trust wish to thank Bianca for her expertise, enthusiasm, and dedication to the organization.

We will be hiring a replacement for her role as Executive Director over the next few months.
A Search Committee will begin its work within the month.

In the interim, Shannon Mader and Melissa Cameron will share the position as Acting Executive Director(s). Their experience and knowledge will stand the organization in good stead as we begin a new chapter in our history. In addition to their new responsibilities as acting Eds, Shannon will continue as manager of the species-at-risk program at INT and Melissa will also retain her responsibilities as manager of philanthropy.

The Board would like to thank them both, as we all look confidently forward to pursue our mandate at Island Nature Trust. We will keep you posted!

The Island Nature Trust Board of Directors
