We are excited to announce Mary Ellen Armstrong as the new National Director of Marketing and Communications at Windmill Microlending. Mary Ellen started the role in June 2017.
Mary Ellen came to Windmill Microlending after helping to increase the number of organ donors in Ontario by 40% while in the role of Director of Communications, Marketing and Public Affairs at the Trillium Gift of Life, part of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. Over eight years she built a highly effective communications program campaign to increase awareness of the benefits of organ donation and persuade Ontarians to register as donors. With a background in journalism, marketing and communications, Mary Ellen will help Windmill Microlending significantly increase the number of immigrants who receive loans to help them become certified in the field of work they did before they came to Canada. She will support the organization as they move from a regional to national scope. Click here to view Mary Ellen’s LinkedIn profile.
