For the cover of this year’s annual report, we have chosen a work of art
by one of the many individuals who has benefi tted from the art therapy
program offered at Wellspring London and Region. Our reason for
showcasing this work, titled ‘Transitions’, is two-fold: It refl ects our pride
in the work that is being carried out at Wellspring, and it reflects the
focus of our Board’s work of the past year. It has indeed been a year
of transitions. |
During the past 12 months, members of our Board have worked
diligently and thoughtfully to look ahead to the needs of our community
over time and to assess how we, as an organization, can best address
the needs that fall within our areas of expertise. In our deliberations,
we were ever mindful of staying true to the legacy of the women who
served before us. The result of our efforts is an updated Strategic Plan
that will guide our organization until the year 2012.
The WCA has committed to four key strategies:
• Pursuing excellence in all we do;
• Expanding respite care for those with Alzheimer disease and
related dementias;
• Building on the success of Wellspring London and Region by
facilitating the organization’s next stage in development as a stand
alone organization; and
• Seeking collaborations to provide new and improved programs
that fall within the WCA’s areas of expertise.
Throughout this annual report, you will see how each of these strategies
is being addressed today and will be addressed going forward.
I acknowledge, with thanks, the tremendous commitment on the part
of staff, program leaders and volunteers who, each day, provide
compassionate care based on the values of the WCA.
As my term as Chair of the Board comes to a close, I thank my fellow
board members and our staff for their support over the past two years.
Leading an organization that has served London for 136 years is a
daunting responsibility, but one that I have thoroughly enjoyed.

WCA Board President
