Earlier in her career, Woodley worked with Volunteer Ottawa and the Osgoode Youth Association. Her professional background includes communications, event planning, program development and implementation, and fund raising.<br><br>"As the executive director of the Osgoode Youth Association, I faced a whole series of community development and engagement challenges," explains Woodley. "Advancing the profile of a small organization in rural Ottawa required coming up with innovative strategies and taking a truly creative approach to public engagement. I'm looking forward to applying that expertise on behalf of Bruce House, an organization whose work is of vital importance to people living with HIV/AIDS, and to their families and friends."</span><br><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br>Woodley's full-time position is a first for Bruce House. Prior to Woodley's appointment, long-time fund raising consultant Martha Scott served the agency in a similar capacity on a part-time basis.</span><br><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br>"The decision to engage a full-time fund development and community engagement specialist marks something of a turning point in the history of Bruce House," says board chair Sandi Bonini. "We've been around for more than 20 years. The challenges facing our clients today are far different from the ones clients faced 20 years ago. But, they're no less complex. And, the demand for our services continues to grow. That's why the board decided to put additional resources to support the key areas of community engagement and fund development.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>We are confident that Jill’s wealth of experience and skills will greatly contribute to strengthening our resources and capacity to respond to the current and future housing and care needs of people living with HIV/AIDS in our community.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Brush Script Std";color:#0F243E'>Jay <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:#663300'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:#663300'>J.J.
