…seasoned professional association executive to lead award-winning NGO…

The Board of Directors of one of North America’s most unique community based social marketing organizations announced today the appointment of Steve Doty, CA as the new Executive Director for One Change.

Doty spent over 16 years with the Canadian Medical Association – CMA Holdings Inc (CMAH), most recently as the Vice President & Chief Financial Officer managing a team of more than 100 professionals and staff. During his tenure, the company grew in size from 150 to 1,350 employees, boosted client assets under management from under $5 billion to more than $20 billion and launched or acquired a number of successful services and businesses including discount brokerage, discretionary asset management, insurance, estate and trust services, clinical management software and internet services for physicians.

“I’m so impressed with the innovative approach and momentum that One Change has achieved in such a short time,” Doty states. “It will be a privilege to work with so many dedicated volunteers, partners and staff to take One Change and its compelling mission to the next level,” he adds.

Stuart Hickox, President and Founder of One Change is delighted that a seasoned executive with more than 25 years experience in a variety of progressively senior leadership and financial management positions will be helping to lead the award-winning not-for-profit headquartered here in Ottawa.
“After an extensive and broad search, we’re very excited to welcome Steve Doty to the One Change team,” says Hickox. “Steve’s background is very impressive and I look forward to working closely with him to take One Change to new heights,” he adds.

Steve Doty will take on the role of Executive Director, a position that had to be filled following the sudden death of former Associate Executive — John Mulvihill last August. “John would be very proud of the strides we have made and I know he would give us two big thumbs up for naming Steve as his replacement,” Hickox states.
