Dini
is the consummate professional. She is very knowledgeable,
efficient, and organized. She shows a dynamic enthusiasm
for any project she undertakes. Dini is a perpetual optimist
who sees opportunities where others might see disaster.
She is very pragmatic and productive, and has excellent
time management skills. On several occasions I witnessed
Dini’s superior expertise in facilitating meetings.
She identified desired outcomes at the onset and skilfully
guided the procedures to conclude within the allotted
time, or sooner, with all the agenda items thoroughly
covered and the desired products in hand.

She
handles meetings of diverse viewpoints with expert facilitation.
I have been continually impressed by her professional
and efficient project management.
Mark
Nielsen, Open Learning Agency
I
can say with certainty that funding for many projects
was awarded primarily because Dini would be coordinating
and managing these initiatives. Dini is well known and
highly respected for her expertise, resourcefulness, excellent
management skills, and extensive local, provincial and
national connections.

She
allows those who are working for her to grow professionally,
and she is unfailingly generous with her knowledge, contacts,
and resources. Her loyalty and integrity are exemplary,
and her enthusiasm and global outlook serve to motivate
and enervate other staff members.

I
know I speak on behalf of many people within the Edmonton
Board of Health when I say there will be a big hole left
by your departure for Vancouver. You are a “can
do” person and your energy and ability is hard to
replicate.
Ann
Goldblatt, Edmonton Board of Health
It
is due to her perseverance in proposing alternate educational
formats that my college was persuaded to undertake the
development of a distance education program for interpreter
training. Dini’s greatest strengths are her ability
to analyze a project, set clear priorities and goals,
create a positive working relationship with a team.
Dr. Silvana Carr, Vancouver Community College
Dini
works masterfully with teams. She is 150% reliable and
accountable re communication and project management. She
is creative and always has new/better ideas. I think Dini
is one of the finest professionals I’ve ever worked
with.
Dr. Kathryn Barker, President of FuturEd.
As
a supervisor, Dini has high expectations of herself, and
those working for her, and these ideals translate into
quality products. Dini’s supervisory style is collegial
and supportive. She allows those who work for her to grow
professionally, and she is unfailingly generous with her
knowledge, contacts, and resources.

You
