Home Suite Hope’s Industry Council plays a critical role in the development and success of the Homeward Bound Halton program.
This group of senior executives with decision-making authority from a variety of fields support the professional advancement of participants in the program. The Industry Council is made up of representatives from private sector businesses, non-profit and public sector employers, community champions with influence in the local community and representatives from employment services at the local college, municipality or in community services.
We have some amazing volunteers who give their time to participate as a mentor or on the Industry Council. Here, we highlight - and thank - our 2024 Industry Council representatives.
