CBM is looking forward to continued success under the new leadership of Mr McComiskey, as it helps to improve the quality of life of people with disabilities. He’s no stranger to CBM, having been the Executive Director of CBM Canada from 1999 to 2009, before spending four years as CBM Regional Director managing and leading CBM's work in eight Southern African Countries. In February 2012 he took up leadership of CBM's work inEast Africa.
Before joining CBM, Dave’s career was in marketing and human resource development. He is a graduate of theUniversityofToronto's Commerce and Finance Program and alsoTrinityWesternUniversitywhere he studied leadership and international development.
Cambridge based Dr Allen Foster says,"It has been my privilege and joy to work for CBM for the last 30 years and an honour to lead the CBM Family since 2006. Over the last few months I've spent a lot of time thinking about all that we have achieved together as an organisation. We conceived and championed Vision 2020 which is now an initiative of the World Health Organisation, we have pioneered clubfoot across Africa, and in 2012 we played an integral part in changing the lives of over 31 million people worldwide. I am confident that Dave is the right person to lead CBM on to even greater success in helping those we serve.”
