We would like to welcome Bill MacKenzie, the new Director of Strategic Partnerships.  He has held a number of senior policy and strategic planning roles in the New Brunswick Departments of Agriculture and Social Development.  Some of his past experiences have included the following policy areas: agri-food sector development and competitiveness, trade policy, early childhood development, child welfare, seniors care, services for persons with disabilities, social assistance, housing and poverty reduction.  Bill has had the opportunity to work with many community groups, researchers and non-governmental organizations.  He looks forward to continuing to do so in his new role, as it is only through successful collaboration that we can be effective in advancing social policy in New Brunswick.
