A Tri-City business person with experience in the hospitality industry was named this week as the new executive director for Crossroads Hospice Society.
Tereza McDermid will start her new job July 6.
McDermid has been with the Best Western Plus Coquitlam Inn and Convention Centre since 2001, the past five years as general manager. She is also the second vice chair on the Tri-Cities' Chamber of Commerce executive.
"I know Tereza from my previous work with the Chamber and admire her professionalism and dedication," said Crossroads' acting executive director, Jill Cook, in a news release. "Crossroads is a wonderful place to work and I know Tereza will not only maintain its stellar reputation but will strive to make it even better."
The society has offered care to terminally ill patients since 1998 and operates the Crossroads Inlet Centre hospice in Port Moody. It also offers bereavement support to Tri-City and New Westminster residents.
