Board of Directors 2023-24
Adrienne DiPaolo – Chair
Partner, Torys LLP
I have had a strong affinity for the George Hull Centre for years, growing up in Etobicoke and working at a children’s mental health organization throughout university. I continue to be amazed by the richness of the services that the Centre provides to youth and families and I am thrilled to be involved with such an incredible organization. I have always been passionate about children and this resonates even more now that we have our own young family.

George Hull Centre is a remarkable organization making a real difference in the community and in the advancement of children’s mental health. I hope that my service on the Board will contribute to the success of the Centre and all those that it serves.
Anne Tauber – Treasurer
Partner, Assurance, PwC
As the mother of two young boys, I have seen first hand how fragile a child’s mental health can be. The George Hull Centre serves one of our most vulnerable populations, our children. I am proud to be able to give back to such an important organization doing incredible work.
Mary Lewis – Secretary
Joining the George Hull Centre Board is an exciting opportunity for me. I have just recently retired from 20 years at the Heart and Stroke Foundation and am eager to be involved with a dynamic organization doing really important work. I was once a child welfare and community development worker in the Jane/Finch area and I saw both the tremendous needs of children and families and the difference an organization can make for both individuals and the community. I feel a connection to the George Hull Centre because my dear friend Libby Ridgely was once the Executive Director.

I was introduced to the George Hull Centre roughly four years ago and recognized immediately that this is a grassroots organization that is making a very positive impact on children and families that take part in their mental health programs and services. I believe that children’s mental health is an underserved area and I’m passionate about helping the George Hull Centre in any way I can to better serve the children and families out there that need our support.
