I moved to Strathcona County in 1974, along with my husband Clay.  We have been blessed with 3 amazing children who have all traveled in different paths than we would have ever thought.  I joined the CCLF in the spring of 2015 and have been a member at large and am currently the Chair.  I have worked, and continue to work, on the Governance Committee, the Grant Committee and most recently on the Strategic Planning Committee. I graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a BA(PE) in 1971.  I worked for nearly 23 years as a Junior High teacher in the Elk Island Catholic School District.  Before that, I taught for a year in Prince Albert SK and then adults at NorQuest in Edmonton.  I retired 5 years ago so I could spend more time with our 4 grandkids. In my free time, and I use that term very loosely, I still substitute teach, I like gardening on our acreage, golfing when the weather permits, and swimming with my deep water friends.

Donna-Lynne Erickson

Donna-Lynne is an active member of CCLF’s Communication Committee where her eye for detail and artistic flair is greatly appreciated
Donna-Lynne shares her humor, energy, and enthusiasm in helping CCLF move its mission and vision forward.

I am semi-retired having worked in health care for the past 19 years. She facilitates grief and bereavement education seminars is a writer and author and most recently is developing a new standup comedy career. She was representative for the Viking and Beaver County Family and Support Services on the FCSS provincial board but leaving that community meant she had to give up her position. She is happy to have found another community building board on which to serve. She lives with her life partner, Rick Walker and between them, they have five daughters and ten grandchildren.

Cindy Selinske

Cindy is enthusiastic about making Strathcona County an even better place to live, and her experience with not-for-profits, both as a Human Resources professional and as a volunteer, helps guide the Board of the County Clothes-line Foundation to make sound policy decisions.

Cindy brings a background of human resources within Gov. and Nonprofit organizations. We are eager to have Cindy apply her expertise in developing a strong succession plan for the Board and its future endeavors.

I moved to Sherwood Park in 2003 from Edmonton. After graduating from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Education I took a temporary job in Human Resources and remain in the field having worked in both government and not for profit organizations. I joined the Board of the County Clothes-Line Foundation in January of 2017 and hope to use my Human Resources experience while working on the Board. I enjoy yoga, interior design, and travel. I have had the opportunity to travel to the United States, England, Greece, and Asia.

Maureen Stewart

I moved to the County of Strathcona in 1993 to raise our 2 great boys in a welcoming community of Ardrossan. My sons excelled in soccer in this community, and I love being a soccer mom! We also opened our home to Westies in need by being a foster home for Westie Rescue of Canada for 12 yrs.

My career in the nonprofit world started with the Salvation Army National Recycling Operation that spanned 10.5 yrs. and then the Canadian Diabetes Association Clothesline program for 6 yrs. My love of giving back to the community and those in need was solidified and I continue to give back where and when I can. I currently reside in Sherwood Park with my 2 dogs! I look forward to being part of the County Clothes-Line Board and contributing in any capacity.
