Jo Ann joined the Colchester Regional Development Agency as Executive Director in 2001. She has worked with community leaders and municipalities to create a strong, integrated economic development organization that aims to set the standard for economic growth in Atlantic Canada. The new mission for the agency, “to drive sustainable economic growth, creating healthy communities, prosperous business, and opportunity for our citizens”, is the criteria by which all growth opportunities are measured and all customers are served.

Prior to joining CoRDA, Jo Ann had over a decade of experience in community economic development in the Halifax Regional Municipality and Southern Newfoundland. Her strength is in her ability to bring people together, create a vision and develop and implement strategies to realize that vision. There are no obstacles, only opportunities that have not yet been realized. A mother of two very active boys, she spends most of her spare time with her husband at the rink or soccer field as a dedicated fan!
