Cudos to the board of directors for YU Toronto for following God's lead on this transition and handeling it with such grace and love.
AN EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT FOR YU TORONTO
The Board of Directors of Youth Unlimited (Toronto YFC) is pleased to announce the appointment of Scott Moore as their new Executive Director effective July 1, 2013.
John Wilkinson has served as the Executive Director for the past 13 years. He has done a terrific job in developing our Chapter to its current strength and effectiveness. God has blessed him and his dedicated service and we are most thankful for his faithful commitment to the youth of the Greater Toronto Area.
The timing of this significant transition has been undertaken with a desire to see an effective succession that continues the forward momentum of Youth Unlimited’s staff and volunteer teams, programs and many supporters.
John has accepted a full-time executive role with us reporting to the Board of Directors as Executive Coach and Strategist. In addition to supporting the transition to Scott as the new Executive Director, John will bring his gifts and passions to the coaching and mentoring of key leaders in Youth Unlimited and other organizations.
Scott Moore has been the Area Director for our North York region for the past five years. He has been responsible for effectively guiding a number of staff teams who run programs in that region.
Scott came to YU with an education in Honours Business Administration from the Richard Ivey School of Business at Western (2003) and a Masters of Divinity degree from Tyndale Seminary (2008). He has developed a leadership style that is collaborative, relational and spiritual. During his interviews, Scott shared his guiding principle for decision-making: “If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit” (Galatians 5:25). Furthermore, he wrote, “In the end, I hope to be someone who loves God evidently and loves people extravagantly.”
Although change often creates uncertainty in the natural realm, it always produces excitement in the spiritual realm where God, who knows the future, is the decision- maker. The Board is excited about the opportunities that lie ahead for Youth Unlimited under Scott’s leadership.
I thank God for the opportunity of having a well-managed transition with the commitment by all to serve God first in this change. We are most fortunate to have the services of both Scott and John over the next number of years in their new roles.
Your continued support, prayers and involvement in this important work will be cherished and deeply appreciated.
On behalf of Youth Unlimited and its Board of Directors,
Paul Hogan Board Chair
