Genesa is an unapologetic feminist and social justice advocate at her core. She has committed her 25-year career as a leader in the non-profit sector to catalyzing community change, sparking innovation, and developing deep and lasting relationships that will see our communities transformed.

As the CEO of the Vancity Community Foundation Genesa has been tasked to facilitate systemic change by leveraging the Foundation’s assets to address the disproportionate impacts of a lack of affordability and climate change on communities pushed into the margins.

As a dedicated community volunteer, she serves on several non-profit boards.  She is currently the President of the EFry Health Services Society Board, a sister organization of EFry Greater Vancouver providing healthcare to women and families in Surrey.
