Shannon Gordon, Manager of Community Initiatives

Shannon has worked in sustainability planning and management since 1996, both at the local government level and at the corporate level. Managing the Whistler2020 process, educational and communications initiatives, and other Whistler-based projects are Shannon's primary responsibilities with the Centre. From 2001 to 2008, Shannon worked with the Resort Municipality of Whistler on various sustainability initiatives, including strategic planning, policy development, staff training and community engagement. Beginning in 2003, her main focus was co-managing the creation and implementation of Whistler2020 - Whistler's award-winning sustainability plan and engagement process. Shannon's work in the sustainability field began in Vancouver with Vancity Credit Union's Corporate Social Responsibility Group, where she managed the social and environmental audit and reporting process - the first of its kind in Canada.

Shannon spends as much time as she can running, skiing and biking in breath-taking Whistler, British Columbia, when she's not enjoying the community's other amenities with her partner and two young kids.

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
