Tauna Staniland & Amanda Whitehead recognized by Community Centre Alliance
At the Community Centre Alliance (“CCA”) annual general meeting today, St. John’s lawyers Tauna Staniland and Amanda Whitehead were recognized for the work they have done for this organization.
Both Tauna and Amanda assisted the CCA in a pro-bono project last year which resulted in a successful merger with another local not-for-profit. Tauna has also been involved as a CCA resource member and board director for more than five years, and throughout her time has helped to improve the quality of work done by this organization, for those in the community.
