We want to extend our gratitude to André Vashist, Director Social Innovation for his 5+ plus years at Pillar Nonprofit Network. André started off as a volunteer connecting new co-tenants to Innovation Works and then took on a role to grow VERGE Capital.
Pillar’s Director of Equity, Inclusion & Governance, Dharshi Lacey, shares what she has learned so far about how we can best support the local Black community in the ongoing fight against oppression and racism.

Pillar Nonprofit Network thanks AnnaLise and Louise for contributing their expertise to Pillar’s Executive Director Support Network and their work on this guest post.
Our work before and, especially, during the COVID-19 pandemic makes it clear that Londoners are ready, willing, and able to step up as volunteers to help their neighbours and vulnerable members of our community.
Please join me in congratulating Michelle Baldwin, Executive Director of Pillar Nonprofit Network, as she embarks on the next phase of her leadership journey, joining Community Foundations of Canada as Senior Advisor, Transformation and teaching at Huron University College in the Governance, Leadership and Ethics program.
