Welcome to the fourth post in our series of interviews between Literacy Link South Central (LLSC) staff and members of our Board of Directors. Please join us in learning more about the important work that this wonderful group of professionals does to help guide LLSC.
James Shelley, Board Director
What is your name? James Shelley
What is your job title and company? Knowledge Mobilization Coordinator, School of Nursing, Faculty of Health Sciences, Western University
How long have you been with the Board? Since January 2019
What inspired you to get involved? A desire to learn more and support literacy and skills-building initiatives in our community.
Why is literacy important to you, or how do you see it being connected to the "big picture" of the work you do?
To me, literacy, in all its forms, is a bedrock of a sustainable democracy and civil society.
Can you share one thing you've done, learned, or been involved in as a result of being on the Board? Through being involved with LLSC, I have discovered so many incredible people working in various agencies in our community. For just one example, check out this talk
