Carol was selected as the Incoming Community Co-Chair at a meeting of the NextGen Steering Committee on Tuesday, November 13, 2012.

“Community development is my passion, and the field where I have chosen to make my career. In this work, I embrace values of collaboration and servant leadership,” says Carol Neuman, Incoming Community Co-Chair, Edmonton’s Next Gen. “I feel proud and privileged to be surrounded by passionate, committed young people who are willing to share their time, talent and resources to strengthen their communities.”
