By Samuel Getachew – Mina Mawani is former Executive Officer of the Council for Canada.
Always take initiative and take every opportunity to learn and grow. Ensure that you set some clear goals and find two or three people who can mentor and guide you throughout your career and provide access to opportunities.
I believe we all have a responsibility to care for each other and to help those in need and to ensure that those organizations that exist for the betterment of the public good, not only exist but thrive. They can only do this if we as individuals step up and contribute to these causes. I also believe that a moral and ethical framework must form the foundation of all our decisions.
Mina Mawani is an exemplary civic leader based in Toronto. She has been an avid volunteer in the community, been an exceptional leader within many leading – local and international organizations – and has shared her own life to inspire others. She shares with me the early years as a refugee and how she learned to be “resilient” as a result.
