Special Dedication in honour of Heather Boyd-Kinnie
Heather Boyd-Kinnie, one of the ACC’s longest and most dedicated steering committee members passed away Tuesday, March 16th, 2021.
Her steadfast belief in the importance of the ACC, and the support she provided as the Funding Manager and Program Coordinator of the Pond-Deshpande Centre for Innovation made it possible to build many strategic relationships throughout the Atlantic region, and also to help fund regional conferences. Through her kindness, knowledge, expertise and wisdom she made a very significant contribution to the ACC. Heather will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege to know her as a family member, friend, employee and colleague.
“Most of the things that are interesting, important, and human are the result of creativity.”
