Dion McInnis became a colleague of mine when I managed a foundation for the arts. His passion for helping individuals and organizations reach their potential is phenomenal – he is unique in his ability to think strategically, articulate needs and solutions, and transform organizations. His impeccable expertise and creativity, coupled with his wealth of experiences, brought new energy to everyone he worked with; this, in turn, led to greater financial, material, and personal investments in the arts arena.
