• Speakers:

Sandi MacKinnon, Executive Director of Greater Fredericton Social Innovation and Co-founder/Organizer of Civic Tech Fredericton. Sandi brings to life that spirit of cooperation. This involves a keen eye for potential partnerships on shared problems or challenges, the ability to build a team where there was no team before, and then to promote this new direction to the community. The result is a new creative energy emerges in the community, and the positive feeling of making a difference.

Joy Iloreta has been a valued Civic Tech volunteer since November 2019. She is the Project Coordinator and the driving force behind the Meals Made Simple project that supports the initiatives of Green Village Food Centre in Fredericton. She is a Data Analyst and Scrum Master with 10+ years of experience in Business Analysis, Project Management, Requirements Management, Technical Product Support, Training, Technical Writing and Process Transformation.
