A message from the Centre for Organizational Excellence (COE):
We are pleased to announce that Brooke Pasco will be taking on a new role within Niagara College’s Centre for Organizational Excellence. Starting May 22, Brooke will become NC’s Workplace Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Specialist. In this new role, Brooke will play a pivotal role in continuing to move Niagara College’s EDI Blueprint forward. Her key responsibilities will include ongoing consultations on EDI across NC, developing and delivering EDI-focused workshops and learning opportunities, and maintaining NC’s Days of Significance calendar and communications.
Brooke brings with her a wealth of professional knowledge and experience. Having completed an MA in Critical Sociology in 2017, and a Postgraduate Certificate in Human Resources at Niagara College, Brooke is a certified human resources professional and has completed Diversio’s DEI Certificate for HR professionals. Before joining NC in early 2020, Brooke worked as the Employee Resource & Training Coordinator, including responsibilities as an HR generalist, with General Electric and stayed on in the role when it later became INNIO.
Brooke joined NC’s COE one week into the COVID-19 pandemic and played an integral role across multiple initiatives and programs in COE as the organization moved first to remote and then to hybrid work. Most NC employees will also recognize Brooke’s name through her work with the Diversity and Inclusion Taskforce from its inception. She was central in the development and implementation of the taskforce’s consultation plans, facilitated many of those discussions, and continues to action many of the key considerations that came up during consultations.
Brooke has also developed and delivered workshops across NC that range from a focus on leading organizational transitions, to identifying and addressing microaggressions, to applying EDI principles to revise workplace procedures.
Please join us in celebrating Brooke’s many accomplishments at COE’s Learning and Development Coordinator and welcoming her into her new role as the Workplace Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Specialist.
