Dominique McCaughey Named New Ometz CEO
Dominique McCaughey has been appointed as Chief Executive Officer of
Agence Ometz
in Montreal, effective April 1, 2020. Dominique has a long history as a professional and lay leader in the Jewish community. She has been with Ometz in the position of Chief Strategy and Development Officer since July, 2015, but her service and commitment to our community dates back to her work as a community organizer with Project Genesis before joining Jewish Family Services in 1996. During the past four years with the agency as part of the executive team, Dominique has played a catalyzing role as a trusted, engaging and nimble change leader. She has led in building brand recognition and reputation, resulting in recognition of Ometz as one of Canada’s top charities. She increased fundraising capacity and culture, securing transformational gifts to support programs for school age children, adults living with mental health challenges, and the gifts that led to the much needed and anticipated opening of l’Annexe, the Ometz Centre for Young Adults in the New Year. The Network is excited to welcome Dominique McCaughey!
