Meet the Chair
Elvin Saruk leads our group of founding members with a passion for developing leaders. Because he’s seen the kind of impact an investment in someone’s future can have, he has turned that perspective into action. Elvin looks forward to the interactions and relationships he and the rest of the founding members will have with the Centre’s participants.
