Trina Isakson was born and raised in Salmon Arm, and moved to Powell River almost 5 years ago. She has since gotten deeply involved in our community. She’s been a volunteer at different times with the Powell River Garden Club, Texada Island Non Profit Seniors Housing Society, and Knuckleheads Winter Recreation Association, and currently sits on the board of the Powell River Community Foundation. Some listeners may know her as a member of the Community Finance Advisory Committee, or from being a co-facilitator of public engagement with the Possible Name Change process earlier this year.
Her professional work is as a facilitator and researcher with community groups, helping them do strategic planning, implement changes, or work on conflict. She’s worked with organizations such as BC Civil Liberties Association, SFU Library, Powell River and District United Way, and the City of Surrey. Before her work with community organizations, she was a high school math and science teacher.
She has an MBA in community economic development from Cape Breton University and a certificate in dialogue and civic engagement from SFU. She spends her free time doing crossword puzzles, working on her house and garden, and walking in the forest.
