TBCF Welcomes Dina Marsico as the Marketing Coordinator
The Foundation is pleased to welcome Dina to our staff.
Dina is excited to be working with the Thunder Bay Community Foundation for the next year. She spent six years obtaining two university degrees in Southern Ontario, and during this time Dina realized Thunder Bay is her home and where she wanted to invest in her future.
For the next year Dina will be working on developing new logos, images and marketing tools for the Foundation’s 40th Anniversary Gala, which will be held in early 2011. During the next year it is Dina's intent to help create awareness of the Thunder Bay Community Foundation so that we can work together as a community to build a better Thunder Bay for future generations.
