Bill
has 25 years experience in the charitable sector having dedicated years to the creation and establishment of The Wood’s
Homes Foundation. He began his career in the non-profit world as Director of Administration in 1982.
Over the intervening years his financial management, facilities, and human and labour relations scope expanded to include
funds development, marketing, and legacy planning.
It was the legacy planning arena that sparked Bill’s
vision in creating the Foundation as the ideal structure for matching the long term needs of Wood’s Homes and its clients
with the visions and dreams of its donors. Over the years scores of supporters shared his vision and made
provisions for their own legacy gifts to support the work of charities important to them generating substantial endowment
growth and millions of dollars in future expectancies.
