Board of Directors
We are grateful to the tremendous contribution of the following individuals. Their guidance and expertise bring us closer to a world without type 1 diabetes each day.

(Kelowna, BC) “I volunteer as a Board member for JDRF because of their unwavering commitment to find a cure for type 1 diabetes and while on that journey, improve the lives of those living with T1D. Our son was diagnosed with T1D many years ago and JDRF has given me hope and renewed confidence that a cure will be discovered during his lifetime.”

Partner, Lorem Partners (Calgary, AB) "I volunteer as a board member of JDRF because of my daughter Beth (diagnosed T1D over 12 years ago) and other Canadians like her who are living with the 24/7/365 challenges of this chronic disease. I am inspired by my daughter and her ability to live life on her terms; it’s not easy but she does a remarkable job of managing the complexities of T1D while leading a very active life! With that being said, I am involved with JDRF so that one day she will be able to live her life without the burdens of T1D."

Regional Managing Partner, KPMG Calgary (Calgary, AB) “Recent events have demonstrated that the health of Canadians has never been more important. I volunteer with JDRF knowing that the organization is relentless in the pursuit of finding a cure for type 1 diabetes and improving the lives of all Canadians, including a member of my family, who lives with T1D.”

Managing Partner, Stewart McKelvey (Halifax, NS) I am excited about the opportunity to be on the board of JDRF because I want to be part of the team that is committed to funding research that will both improve the lives of people at all ages and all stages of T1D and finding a cure. My son was diagnosed with T1D at Age 9 – he inspires me as he manages the challenges of his disease everyday and he never lets it hold him back. With a cure, these challenges will become a thing of the past!

Head, North American Customer Contact Centre, BMO (Toronto, ON) “My sister has had T1D for 43 years, since she was 5 years old. I am committed to helping find a cure in our lifetime so that she and all those with T1D can enjoy the freedom of life without the constant of diabetes. I know we can do it – and I am passionate about being part of the solution. Imagine a world where type one is type none!"
