Right To Play International welcomes Susan McIsaac as new CEO
Toronto, ON, Jan. 13, 2021 — Right To Play International is delighted to welcome Susan McIsaac as its new CEO. The accomplished nonprofit leader steps into the CEO position at the 20-year-old INGO as it strives to keep children safe and healthy, learning, and mentally strong in the face of COVID-19, reaching a record 12 million children through remote and in-person methods last year.
“I am deeply honoured to be able to serve Right To Play and the children and communities we work with in this new role,” said Ms. McIsaac. “COVID-19 has cut children off from their education, their support networks and, in many cases, from their hopes and dreams. And the pandemic threatens to roll back important gains that have been made on increasing access to education, gender equality, and child protection. But children are resilient and, with the right support, they will recover, overcome these challenges, and create a brighter future for themselves and their communities. I am committed to ensuring that we can continue to protect, educate, and empower children in the 15 countries where we work. And I’m looking forward to seeking out opportunities to reach even more children in the years to come.”
