2017 Pauline Spatz Leadership Award recipients: Mike and Jane Wilson

Do you know someone like Mike and Jane that gives their time, energy and resources to make their community a better place? Consider nominating them for the Pauline Spatz Leadership Award.

The inaugural recipients of the Pauline Spatz Leadership Award are Mike and Jane Wilson, pictured here with Chandra MacBean, Executive Director of the Alzheimer Society of New Brunswick.

In 2015, Mike and Jane Wilson started what has become a ten-year commitment to the Alzheimer Society of New Brunswick, providing a significant gift each year to support our growth and development. The initial years of this gift were designated to bringing the First Link® program to New Brunswick.

The support we received from the Wilson family has meant a great deal to this organization. Their trust in us when we were struggling to meet the needs of a growing number of people with dementia empowered us to do more, to be more, and to expect more of ourselves. Our success in the implementation of the First Link® program was precipitated by their decision to make a significant contribution to our organization.
