Retirement Party
With more than 23 years of being the leadership experience, Ruch Ingersoll is the Executive Director of CDC-Quinte, a staple in Belleville which is known for its programs to reduce food insecurity. Under her guidance, the organization has expanded its reach, grown its impact, and strengthened its commitment to perfecting programs aimed at helping families in Quinte West gain nutritional, accessible and affordable food.
During her tenure, Ruth has been instrumental in shaping the organization’s strategic direction, securing critical funding, and fostering partnerships with local, regional, and national stakeholders. She has successfully led numerous initiatives that have enhanced the nonprofit’s ability to deliver on its mission, including expanding our depots, achieving Non-Profit of the Year at the Quinte Business Achievement Awards not once but twice, as well as numerous other deserving awards.
Known for her collaborative leadership style, Ruth fosters a culture of transparency, inclusivity, and accountability within the organization. She has built strong relationships with board members, staff, donors, and community leaders, and are deeply committed to ensuring the organization’s long-term sustainability and success.
We will miss her deeply but with her the best in her new adventure.
If you would like to join us to celebrate Ruth’s retirement please join us on Dec 6th at Birdys (449 Dundas St W, Belleville) from 3:30-5:30pm!
