  David’s aim as President of the Newfoundland Society of Ottawa is to work with the Executive to successfully rebuild the Society and help ensure its longevity.  They hope to achieve this by fostering a network of Newfoundlanders through hosting quality events that appeal to members as well as those who enjoy socializing with Newfoundlanders

   

• Lori Nash, Vice President

  Lori was born in St. John's and raised in Mt. Pearl.  She lived in Pasadena, NL for 2 years when her father was transferred there for work, so she's had both the East and West coast experiences of living in Newfoundland.

  She graduated from O'Donel High School in 1993 and then went on to attend Memorial University graduating with her B.A. in Sociology.  Lori began her career with the Federal Government of Canada in 2001 working in Pleasantville, NL.  In 2004 Lori accepted a transfer to Ottawa and has since made Ottawa her home.  Presently Lori works as a Project Consultant for Service Canada in Gatineau Quebec.

  Lori's objective as Vice President of the Newfoundland Society of Ottawa is to work with the new Executive to help re-build the society.  She would like to make the society something Newfoundlander's and friends can count on for great quality events and good times.  Lori believes that the society will be an excellent avenue for Newfoundlander's to meet other Newfoundlanders and make life away from home a little more familiar and just a little more fun.
