Meet Maureen Spencer Golovchenko, ABC
|
|
Maureen’s passions include communication, IABC, serving local community organizations as an employee and volunteer, and working to preserve London’s heritage. Her connection with IABC has lasted more than a quarter century, including serving as Chapter President. Maureen’s impressive career path includes working for Jesse’s Journey, The City of London, Western University, Pillar Nonprofit Network, and Fanshawe College.
1) Where do you work? What is your role, including responsibilities and projects?
Following an active, full-time communications career, where I was privileged to serve in many key roles and community projects across the private, public, and nonprofit sectors, I happily transitioned to semi-retirement in 2015. Since then, I have been stimulating my creativity as writer-editor for a monthly community magazine called
Neighbours of Riverbend highlighting the amazing people and stories found in the west end of London.
I also fulfill a part-time role as a writer-in-residence at Fanshawe College, with a specific portfolio liaising with its Centre for Research and Innovation.
