New Addition to Outtatown Head Office Staff

We are pleased to announce that Anita Penner will be joining the Outtatown Discipleship School program in the position of Program Manager.  Anita is a person who loves the Lord and has been discipled as a young leader through her experiences at MBCI and in the McIvor Avenue MB Church.  She is an alumnus of the Outtatown program, where her Guatemala experience led to an interest in some of the international issues that were so apparent and troubling in that context.  She completed a BA in Rhetoric and Communications and International Development Studies at the University of Winnipeg where she was a Student of Distinction.  Her studies there focused on Latin American Development Issues.

Anita has strong connections with CMU, having worked for one year in the Student Life Department on the Shaftesbury Campus, and more recently giving two years of strong and effective leadership to our South Africa program as a site leader.

The title of Program Manager is new and it is the same job title as that recently given to Marcus Fowler.  In our office we anticipate shared responsibilities for the mentoring and care we give to site leaders, and the visioning and management of a discipleship program that has such a significant impact on the lives of young people.
