Dear Community,
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to announce the appointment of Lisa Roberts as Interim Executive Director of Alice House, effective July 28, 2025. Lisa will be leading the organization throughout Jill Trites’ upcoming maternity leave, ensuring that our mission and programs continue seamlessly during this time of transition.
Lisa brings a wealth of experience to Alice House. A former MLA and federal political candidate, she has twice previously served as a non-profit Executive Director and is recognized for her strong leadership and deep commitment to community service. Her skills and perspective will be instrumental in guiding Alice House forward over the next year.
As Interim Executive Director, Lisa will focus on:
- Maintaining operational continuity across all programs and services.
- Providing strong leadership and support to our dedicated staff team.
- Collaborating closely with the Board, partners, and stakeholders to advance Alice House’s vision of a Nova Scotia where women and children can heal and live lives free from intimate partner violence.
Lisa will be working in overlap with Jill throughout August, and alongside the Board of Directors and staff team to ensure a smooth transition. We are confident that she will provide the steady leadership and stewardship needed during this period.
We are deeply grateful for your continued support and commitment to Alice House’s mission. Together, we will ensure that the women and children we serve continue to receive the safety, healing, and hope they deserve.
With appreciation,
Stephanie Walker
Chair, Board of Directors
Alice House
