Three longtime Richmond Centre for Disability (RCD) board members were presented with certificates of appreciation earlier this week.
Richmond North Centre MLA Teresa Wat presented the certificates to Mark Bukata, Sarah Ho, and Vince Miele.
Bukata, who joined the board in 2018, was also its treasurer from 2020 to 2022. He has over 25 years of experience in supply chain management and over 15 years of experience training young professionals in the area. Bukata is a past board member of the Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association and a current member of the 2022 BC Provincial Wheelchair Tennis program.
Ho joined the RCD board in 2011 and is vice-chair of the organization’s Chinese Support Group Committee, planning activities and liaison works for close to 400 members of Chinese origin. She has been an active volunteer with the Chinese Support Group since its inception in 2003 and is the parent of an adult child with a disability, gaining firsthand experience with a myriad of disability Issues and community resources. Ho is also a member of the RCD Mom’s Dance Group, and has performed at many RCD events.
Miele joined the RCD board a few years after its inception in 1985, and has assumed many board executive positions countless times, including board chair. He has been an active member and community volunteer for over 30 years, and supported and nurtured two RCD executive directors with excellent guidance. Miele was an Independent Living Canada Board member, on two different occasions, for a total of over 14 years. He is a highly regarded accessibility specialist in the community, including duties on the city’s Accessibility Design Panel for several terms.
RCD relies on volunteers to deliver many activities and services to people with disabilities. As a non-profit organization, its volunteer board guides the direction of its work and helps the organization achieve its mission. Members of the board of directors are involved in RCD ambassador work and fundraising initiatives, acting as the voice of the organization and people with disabilities and helping work towards an inclusive and equitable world.
