Mary Stack has served as Executive Director of Options Employment Outreach Inc. for nine years and has worked in the non-profit sector for over sixteen years, with a strong focus on diversity, inclusion, and equitable workforce participation. She began the non-profit piece of her career as one of two hired to open and grow the multicultural centre in Saint John, supporting newcomers and strengthening inclusive community development. Today, she leads the award-winning Options Employment Outreach Inc. in advancing inclusive employment for individuals living with disabilities.  A proud Saint John native, Mary is a graduate of NBCC Saint John and UNB Saint John, and is a long-term and active volunteer in the community, including having volunteered on numerous committees with CPHR-NB. 

This virtual session offers an inside look at Options Employment Outreach Inc. — a hidden gem in Greater Saint John.   The session will include who we serve, what we do, and how we function as a central hub connecting individuals, employers, and other non-profit organizations.  Mary Stack will share:

• The populations Options supports, including individuals with disabilities and those facing barriers to employment
• The challenges many clients experience when navigating the workforce
• How Options collaborates with other non-profits and agencies to strengthen outcomes
• Why partnership — not duplication — is the key to community impact

This session will provide HR professionals and community leaders with a clearer understanding of how Options supports inclusive workforce participation and how collaboration creates stronger results for everyone.

Options is a proud member-agency of avenueNB. 

Options turns 30 on April 1 and this session in March will serve as a great introduction to CPHRNB’s upcoming event on April 30, a partnership between Options and Eddie Lamoine: https://secure.cphrnb.ca/events-calendar/english.php?event_id=1176
