TEASER | MY COMMUNITY

Some conversations sound important.

Others leave a lasting impression.

This episode of My Community goes beyond leadership language and public-facing narratives into the reality of community work, trust, and the responsibility that comes with serving people well.

Featuring Frances LeBlanc, CEO of The Friends of The Moncton Hospital Foundation, this conversation explores the unseen side of leadership: the emotional labour behind fundraising, the quiet realities women in leadership continue to navigate, and the work required to build genuine community connection long before impact becomes visible.

Hosted by Maruf Hassan, this is a thoughtful and honest discussion about leadership that doesn’t seek attention, but creates impact where it matters most.
