Adwoa K. Buahene has spent the last 20 years in leadership
positions, focusing on organizational and departmental
strategy as well as revenue generation. Her interest in TRIEC
and her desire to be a part of its mission is grounded in her
own family’s experience, as her father is an internationallyeducated physician.
She believes it’s important to create
understanding of the challenges immigrants face in making the
transition to their professions in Canada, as these impact the
individual professional newcomer, as well as the partner and the children who
are witness to
the struggle.

Buahene co-founded and managed for 12 years a boutique leadership consulting and
training
company that worked with private sector and not-for-profit organizations, as
well as all levels
of government. Most recently, she served as Vice President, Donor and Community
Partnerships at Habitat for Humanity GTA. Her prior roles in business
development and
operations allowed her to work in Munich, Toronto, Paris, Bucharest, and Mumbai.
She holds a
Master of Arts in Analytic Philosophy from Dalhousie University.

An avid volunteer since she was 12 years old, Adwoa just joined the board of The
Philanthropic
Foundations of Canada. Past experiences include 12 years of volunteering with
United Way
Greater Toronto as a community allocations panel chair and member of the
management
advisory group, in addition to years with VHA Home Healthcare, culminating as
board chair
