OTTAWA – The Community Radio Fund of Canada (CRFC) is looking for a new executive director as Jean Malavoy departs from that role.
Since joining the CRFC in 2013, Malavoy led the development of a new Youth on Air! program, helped to support the major associations serving the sector, increased the amount that individual radio stations could access for Canadian Content Development projects, and pioneered a way for stations to partner on larger initiatives, reads the news release.
"Jean came to the CRFC at a pivotal time," said CRFC president Roger Ouellette, in the release. "We have grown into a source of stability for campus and community radio stations and the communities they serve. We look forward to building on his work."
The job posting for the executive director position will be posted on the organization’s website shortly.
The CRFC also announced new program officer Josée Dallaire, who is filling in during the maternity leave of Marie-Ève Laramée-Gauvreau. Dallaire’s past experience includes working for the Department of Canadian Heritage in both the Community Engagement Directorate and the Building Communities through Arts and Heritage program.
Since it was founded in 2007, the CRFC has distributed more than $7 million to 123 different campus and community radio stations across Canada for 376 projects.
