Peace Wapiti Public School Division Trustee Dana McIntosh has been named the recipient of the provincial Public School Board Association of Alberta’s Special Contribution to Public Education.
Board Chair Lori Grant, who nominated McIntosh, says she has performed in an exemplary manner in her time with the division, leading the board through the retirement of one superintendent and the onboarding of a new one.
“Her ability to form strong working relationships with both superintendents, along with her talent to provide an incredible level of context to all parties helped the transition process tremendously,” Grant says.
“Trustee McIntosh has advocated for and supported partnerships with other local school authorities to ensure we have similar school year calendars, thus allowing opportunities for school administrations to collaborate in areas such as professional learning days and transportation agreements,” she adds.
McIntosh joined the PWPSD Board in 2004 and served as Board Chair from 2014 to 2019 and during the 2021-2022 school year. In total, McIntosh has spent more than 30 years working and volunteering within the division.
