Meet The Team
Meet, Tricia
Program Director
Tricia is the ambitious “Program Director” at Care For Women.
Prior to this, she was the “Marketing Director” for a local shopping centre. Her favorite part of this previous role was collaborating with like-minded businesses and non-profits to provide a “leg up” in the amazing work that they do in our community.
Tricia can see the 0s and 1s in all that we do (Matrix reference in case you weren’t sure 😉 ) and she knows when the program needs to shift, coordinate a fundraiser, or collaborate in a partnership; and then she gets it done. We don’t need to explain any further why she is our Program Director.
In her free time, she enjoys playing soccer, connect with friends in nature, coloring or doing puzzles.
She is a wife to her wonderful husband Tim and a mother of three!

Joyce our incredible “Program Coordinator” of Abbosford, Chilliwack and Mission.
Joyce has a gift when connecting with others – she has a special way of making them feel seen and heard, so we knew she was the woman for the job!
She keep tracks of, matches and supports all of our volunteer mentor and mothers and fields all care inquiries. She particularly loves meeting women with caring hearts who want to volunteer as mentors; watching them operate with sacrifice and generosity as they walk new moms through this enormous life changing transition into motherhood; hearing from the mentees what blessings they have been; and being able to work together with a wonderful team who are passionate about Care For Women.
In her previous role working for an MLA (Member of the BC Legislative Assembly) she served and helped members of the community with various challenges and found resources for them.
