Staffing Updates for the New Year

In December of 2025 we said farewell to Vanessa Bradley, People and Culture Manager, and wished her luck in her exciting new position as the executive director of the PEI Advisory Council on the Status of Women! In her stead, Rachel Bartlett has taken on the role of Communications and Culture Manager with PEERS Alliance.

PEERS Alliance is also excited to welcome Morgan Sandiford to our Youth Program Coordination Team! Morgan began onboarding at the start of January and has jumped right into programming, presentations, and all the bits and pieces our YPC team does to support youth in PEI.
