Dear Josh,

It’s truly heartbreaking to say goodbye. Your leadership brought transformative change to our agency, and your vision inspired us all to dream bigger—for ourselves and for the community we serve.

Thank you for recognizing our efforts and for championing fairness, especially in moments like ensuring we don’t use vacation days during the December closure. That gesture spoke volumes about your care and respect for the team.

You will be missed a lot! Wishing you all the best in your next chapter.

With gratitude,

Amena

Dear Josh, thank you for your years of leadership at MFRC, and for the positive impact that your vision has had on the programs and services we offer. Your anecdotes, humor, and positive attitude will be missed (and I'll particularly miss you knocking on Lauren and I's "wall door" to share your stories). I wish you the very best in this new journey!

"Don't worry. We'll sort it out." These words from Josh have stayed with me and reflect the kind of leader he has been. When I made a mistake, he didn't show frustration. Instead, he approached the situation with calm and understanding, and shifting the focus toward finding a solution. His supportive attitude not only helped ease the stress in challenging moments but also created a safe and positive environment to learn and grow. I truly appreciated his patience, kindness and unwavering encouragement. Josh's leadership will be greatly missed, and his words and actions will continue to inspire me moving forward.

Dear Josh,

Wishing you all the best in your new role! Your leadership at MFRC over the past four years has made a lasting impact. I’ve deeply appreciated your prompt, decisive leadership—always grounded in clarity and care.

I’ll miss your familiar knock and the way you'd say, “Can I take a moment?”—always leading to thoughtful insight and positive outcomes.

You’ll be missed, but never forgotten.
Thank you so much for your guidance and enthusiastic leadership.

Warm regards,
Bir 😊

"Can we take a step back for a moment?"

One leadership skill I truly appreciated about you Josh, is that you always made time to think through whether we were going to do things the same (did it work? what could have been better?) or, did we take the opportunity to reflect and make sure there wasn't a better/smarter/more impactful way of getting the work done. I know Josh is groaning right now because he dislikes my use of slashes 😁 lol.

Taking a step back gave us time to reflect, improve and learn which provided MFRC a chance to grow and evolve in a tremendously beneficial way for the team and the community!

I have learned so much from you Josh, and know you are going to continue to rock it in your next role!

Wishing you an amazing journey ahead Josh!
Thank you for all the dedication, leadership, and hard work you've put in at MFRC. Your impact has truly made a difference, and your presence will be deeply missed. Wishing you continued success and happiness in all that lies ahead!

Here is a throw back memory of the time when we were advocating for more funding for the After School Programs.

Dear Josh,

As you move on to your next chapter, I want to express my thanks for your leadership and guidance over the past four years. You've led with integrity, always taken the time to listen, and created a space where feedback was welcomed and valued.

Your support has meant a great deal to me and to the entire Newcomer team, and your impact here will be felt long after your departure. It’s been a true privilege working with you.

Wishing you continued success and fulfillment in all that lies ahead — you will be greatly missed.

Warm regards,

It has been such a pleasure getting to know you over the past couple of years, Josh! Thank you for all you've done to champion access to sport and play for young people in the community. All the best with your next adventure!

Josh,

Thank you for your incredible leadership and mentorship. Your waving belief in each team member's potential has inspired us all to give our best. You're led with integrity, compassion, and vision -and your IMPACT will be felt long after your next chapter begins.

Wishing you nothing but success and fulfillment on your new journey. You will be greatly missed, but we're excited to see all the amazing things you'll accomplish.

Josh words that stick with, "It ok ,will finger it out"

One of the reasons I said "yes" to joining the board was because Josh made it impossible to say "no." Not only because working with someone with his leadership and organizational talents made joining such an attractive option, but quite literally because he would NOT take "no" for an answer. In a calm, centred and very Josh-like way he persisted -- and made the best possible case for working with MFRC. I have no doubt he'll continue to put those talents to good use in the future as a leader, a mentor and a positive force for good in the community.

Hey Josh,

Thank you for everything you’ve poured into MFRC over the years. Your leadership has left a lasting mark that’s felt by everyone across the organization.

I especially want to thank you for the care and attention you’ve given to the youth department. You’ve never hesitated to roll up your sleeves and jump in — whether it was chatting with youth during programming or connecting with community members at events. That kind of hands-on support meant a lot and made a real difference.

Wishing you all the best in this next chapter. You’ll be deeply missed, but your impact will continue to be felt for a long time.

Warmly,

Intasar

Hello Josh,

As you conclude your journey with Malvern Family Resource Centre, I want to share my gratitude for how much I have learned from your leadership. You taught me to think big, look outside the box, and stay grounded in purpose and community. This was my first experience in the nonprofit sector, and you were patient with every learning curve and hiccup. I grew because you invested time, trust, and honest feedback in me.

It is hard to capture everything in one note. Please know that simple thanks is not enough. You have planted lessons in me that I will carry forward as a professional and as a nonprofit practitioner. Whoever works with you next will be lucky, because they will learn and be well supported. I hope our paths cross again and that we can work together in the future.

Wishing you all the best in your next chapter. Please keep in touch.

It has been a pleasure working with you, Josh. I am inspired by how you approach everything - the work, the care you bring to it, and the people you work with.

I have seen you grow MFRC from a $2 million organization to almost $ 4.5 million.

I wish you all the best in your new role, and I hope you receive the same success, appreciation, and respect from the board and the staff.

With appreciation,

Josh,

I'm grateful for your incredible leadership at MFRC. Your thoughtful ways of lifting up staff and volunteers to centre their leadership is what continues to make this organization so strong. I recall you asking me to take on a board role 2 years ago- and I readily said yes. Your focus was not only on the front line programming and care, but on being part of systemic change, like IDEA and food security. Wishing you all the best in your next chapter and can't wait to see your advocacy work next!

Best wishes,

Sarah
