Melinda Gogerly (she/her)
​Executive Director
[email protected]

Aurelia - Melinda WellsmanID: Melinda is outside on a deck. It's a sunny day, and she is smiling at the camera. In the background, there is a vibrant green lawn and trees.
Melinda Gogerly has been with Aurelia since its creation, having previously worked in different areas of the human services field including child and youth care, education, training, and child welfare and advocacy. With a BA (Hons) degree in Arts and Culture, Melinda has also worked extensively in the arts and dance worlds both as a performer and manager with a particular interest in improving access to dance and musical theatre training opportunities.
 
She brings a breadth of experience in organizational development, strategic planning and implementation, policy development, financial planning, and team alignment. She has successfully project managed numerous initiatives from complex core and capital funding proposals and high value capacity development contracts, to the fast-track implementation of province-wide geographic expansion.
 
As Aurelia’s Executive Director and Team Lead, she has established strong relationships with Indigenous leadership, Band Council department representatives, community members, partner allies, and government officials. Melinda has led Team Aurelia through the development and delivery of all of Aurelia’s projects and co-developed the proof of concept for the Labrador Innu communities’ vision for their own placement homes, including the fiscal and organizational framework required to meet federal and provincial requirements while maintaining the cultural heart of programming for Innu children and youth.
 
Melinda has worked extensively as a freelance manager and leader of community-based organizations, and has volunteered on several Boards and committees, most recently filling a volunteer role of Client and Family Advisor with Eastern Health. 
 
On a career path that she describes as “anything but linear,” the roots and motivation have always remained constant and true: a passion for working towards addressing injustices, improving access, promoting equal opportunities, addressing imbalance, and actioning lasting and meaningful change.
