Glennis happily works as an Associate with the Philanthropic Services and Community Building team.
Before joining the Ottawa Community Foundation, Glennis spent 33 rewarding years in the broadcast industry. She has worked across Canada in various media roles including hosting daily radio shows, managing promotional, marketing, and contesting campaigns, and most recently as the News and Program Director of City News Ottawa, managing all aspects of an award-winning news, talk radio station.
