Among Judith Yaworsky's attributes is the ability to
respond to the need for quick turnovers on rapidly
emerging issues. Here are some examples:
On a five-day turn-around, Judith stepped in to coordinate the
media relations on one of Queen Elizabeth’s multi-province
tours. Despite an organization going back some nine months,
Judith was able to step into this breach and positively resolve
the issue, despite have no access to organizational files;
During Canada 125, Judith organized Canada’s first Raise the
Flag Day. Working with four mayors, she led a team that
worked with corporations and governments to organize
events in 154 communities – in less than two months;
Upon the death of a friend’s daughter in a school bus
accident, Judith conceived and led Sandrine’s Gift of Life, an
international organ and tissue donation non-profit organization
with one goal: to save lives by increasing the donor rate. An
Ottawa Citizen editorial called the initial two week campaign,
launched just days after Sandrine’s death, “one of the most
remarkable events in the history of our community.” The
organization made an impact. Its major project was an on-line
education project funded by the United States Department of
Health and Human Services that brought the issue into
classrooms in 191 countries.
