As part of International Day of the Girl, there are a few stories of girls and women who are leading the way in a variety of different forms. Some are paving the way in leadership, while others in fields that have been stereotyped as male-dominant. Another strong female leader who has been community driven through her work at The Pas Community Renewal Corporation (TPCRC) is the Executive Director, Desarae Lambert.
Lambert started with TPCRC over a decade ago and has been committed to the organization ever since.
“On September 23, 2013, I accepted the position of the Community Facilitator with the TPCRC,” said Lambert. “I had just moved to The Pas that summer and was on a job search for something new and fun when I stumbled upon the advertisement, and thought this would be amazing to try.”
During the course of time, Lambert has worked her way up to a more prominent leadership role with in the TPCRC.
“I went from community facilitator to taking a few months off, then returning for a part-time position providing support to the executive director. Then back to community facilitator then to executive director all within the 10-year span.”
