New and Departing OAG Board Members

OAG acknowledges two outgoing board members:

Barbara Uteck steps down from the OAG’s Board after serving nine years. She joined the OAG at the beginning of the OAG Expansion Project, and brought important insights and community connections to the OAG while also playing a significant role in board governance, recruitment and succession.

Dominique Dennery came onto the OAG’s Board in 2019 bringing important consultation and change management experience to the OAG. She played a critical role in facilitating a community dialogue, which explored anti-black racism in the arts in Ottawa that led to many amazing initiatives and projects.
