SELENA DICAIRE - PRESIDENT

Selena Dicaire became part of the Fort St. John Women’s Resource Society in 2010, initially serving as a Director and later advancing to Vice President. Inspired by the leadership of her predecessor, Sherry Marshall, she stepped into the President role in 2024 to help carry forward the Society's legacy of positive community impact.

Selena’s vision is to expand our reach and deepen our impact.

I aim to help enhance our programs, foster stronger community partnerships, and ensure that we are a model of support and empowerment for all women in Fort St. John and beyond, creating a safer and more inclusive environment for our children.

Throughout her journey with the Women's Resource Society, Selena has seen firsthand the transformative power of community service. Working closely with Executive Director Amanda Trotter has only deepened her connection to the Society’s mission, reinforcing her commitment to addressing the root causes of gender-based challenges.

One initiative she is particularly proud of is the mentorship program at Skye’s Place, which pairs women with mentors for guidance and support, embodying the Society’s values of empowerment and growth. Selena envisions the Society evolving to meet future community needs by embracing technology, collaborating with other organizations, and always listening to the voices of those we serve.

To Selena, the Society is more than services; it’s a lifeline for those in need. She encourages everyone to support the Society’s mission, working together to build a compassionate community for future generations.

“As President, my guiding principle is to lead with empathy and proactive solutions. Amanda (our Executive Director) often quotes Desmond Tutu: ‘We need to go upstream and find out why they are falling in.’ This reminds us to address the root causes of issues, ensuring sustainable and impactful change.”
