Dear CANFAR Community,
On behalf of the Board of Directors, we are writing to share important news regarding a leadership transition at CANFAR.
After years of dedicated service, Alex Filiatrault has formally stepped down from his role as Chief Executive Officer as of May 9, 2025. We extend our deepest gratitude to Alex for his exceptional leadership and transformational work over his tenure. Under Alex’s guidance, CANFAR expanded its reach, deepened its connections with communities across the country, and engaged more youth through critical awareness and program implementation efforts.
In the interim, Kevin Noguera and Roxanne Ma will assume the roles of Interim Co-Executive Directors of the Foundation. They will continue to work alongside our talented leadership team, including Adam Mazerall (Marketing Director), Lindsay Myles (Strategic Implementation Programs Director), Andres Vargas (Stewardship and Development Administrator), Jazmine George (National Awareness Programs Administrator), and William Martinez (Office and Operations Administrator)—all of whom have played key roles in advancing CANFAR’s mission.
The Board is incredibly grateful to Alex for his vision, unwavering commitment, and for building a strong, high-performing team that is well-positioned to lead CANFAR into its next chapter. We remain steadfast in our shared goal of ending the HIV epidemic in Canada, and we look forward to what lies ahead.
With appreciation,
Andrew Pringle, CM
Chair, CANFAR Board of Directors
