Christine Trauttmandsdorff, Executive Director VO Emcee

Christine joined Volunteer Ottawa as Executive Director in April 2022, the next step in a career devoted to public service and causes she believes in. Prior to joining VO, Christine was VP, Government Relations and Canadian Partnerships at Colleges and Institutes Canada, a not-for-profit association that promotes accessible, public education to build better futures for people and communities. Her past experience also includes senior positions at the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council and the House of Commons. She holds a Master’s in Public Administration and a Bachelor of Arts, both from Carleton University. Christine is an active volunteer and serves on a number of not-for-profit boards. She is thrilled to be participating in her first Leveraging Our Strengths conference and looks forward to connecting with Volunteer Ottawa’s members and partners across the region.
