Anne Gloger has spent her career delving deeply into the whys and hows of effective community development. Anne believes that only by embracing authentic investment in communities, relationships and equitable processes will we see the kinds of transformational change and movement on the SDGs that our world so desperately needs.
As Executive Director of Catalysts’ Circle, Anne supports researchers, consultants, governments, organizations and institutions to use a Connected Community Approach to advance whole-of-society, community-centred wellbeing, resilience and equity strategies. She does this by leveraging more than three decades working with and in communities, and especially from her role as founding Director of the East Scarborough Storefront and Centre for Connected Communities.
Anne’s educational background is in Early Childhood Education (Centennial College), Social Development (University of Waterloo) and Business (Wilfrid Laurier University). Over her career, Anne has received numerous awards for her work, including the Jane Jacobs prize, the Courage to Lead Award, the William P Hubbard Award for Race Relations, and Leading Women Building Communities. Anne lives with her partner in beautiful British Columbia; when she is not working, you will find her out on her bike, exploring the great outdoors, cooking or curled up with a good book.
