DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT

Cathy joined the CAUDS team in January of 2025, with a strong background of supporting charities in their missions throughout the province.  Holding a bachelor’s degree in English from Simon Fraser University and a Diploma in Marketing from the British Columbia Institute of Technology, Cathy found her place in the non-profit sector with a deep-seated passion for bringing donors and charities together to foster impactful change aligned with shared values. For over 30 years Cathy has championed the success of numerous charities, from start-up to capital campaigns, including AutismBC, MS Society of Canada, Reach Society, and BC and Alberta Guide Dogs. She looks forward with excitement and optimism to being part of CAUDS growth, and cultivating partnerships that fuel their vital, groundbreaking work. 

BUSINESS COORDINATOR

Carolyn retired in 2021 from a career that included executive support at the UBC Faculty of Medicine, BC Children’s Hospital and at Interior Health. She holds an Associate of Arts Degree from Kwantlen Polytechnic University. In a previous role working with Lori Motluk, Carolyn witnessed the exciting early development of CAUDS, and is very happy to be part of this team.

COMMUNICATIONS & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Jan attended the Monk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy at the University of Toronto and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in International Relations. A love for food, culture, and travel encouraged him to then pursue a master’s degree in gastronomy from the University of Adelaide. That passion for exploring the cultural significance of food and drink led to a varied career in the alcohol industry. While he continues to have an appreciation for the social and historic context of these products, a growing sense of responsibility and a desire to make a positive impact on his community motivated Jan to join CAUDS in 2024. He now channels his industry experience into initiatives that promote healthier lifestyles, contribute to community well-being, and address the often-overlooked consequences of alcohol consumption.
