"Holland College provides students with experiential and co-operative learning opportunities and fundamental training for successful careers.

"Education is one of the primary levers to creating a better world. I am proud to be part of Holland College, which plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of our students. It has been inspiring to watch the college grow and develop over the years and I am excited to be part of the Foundation Board to help support the future at Holland College!"

Peter McLaughlin, Vice Chair - President & Managing Partner, Anne of Green Gables Chocolates

"As a past Chair of the College's Board of Governors, I truly appreciate the significance of Holland College to Prince Edward Island. The college has seen tremendous growth over the past decade and has ambitious plans to further develop it's programs and activities across the province. I take great pride in assisting the Holland College Foundation to further enhance the legacy of Holland College."

Kent Scales, Past Chair - CEO, Scales Group of Companies

"The advantage of having Holland College in our community is a win-win for both Island students and employers. Our students can receive a first-class education at home. While we are known to be small, we are also known to be nimble and can adapt to meet the needs of employers who need specific skill sets. Not too small that we can't make our mark on the national or international stage, whether it be in academics, skilled trades, or athletics. I look forward to being part of the Foundation team that contributes to the continued success of Holland College."

Kathleen Casey - Former MLA & Community Leader

“I am very proud to serve on the Foundation Board because of the profound impact it has on individuals’ lives.  As an alumnus, being a member of the Board allows me to contribute in some way to the growth and success of the College that played a pivotal role in my educational journey and career.  I have a deep appreciation for the transformative power of education and hope to help current and future students achieve their goals. Holland College is an extremely valuable asset, as a first-class educational institution, as an employer, and as an economic driver for PEI.”

Lloyd Compton - Partner, MRSB

"Holland College has a uniquely responsive connection to the labour market and the needs of industry. As an indispensable partner of our economy's growth and vitality, it is essential that Holland College has the infrastructure and capacity to provide the best qualified graduates, and leaders, back to our labour market. Supporting this aim in some small way is a rewarding contribution to the future of our post-secondary environment and prosperity of our community."

Blake Doyle - President, Confederation Group

"As a proud Islander, it has been exciting to watch Holland College grow and thrive. Prince Edward Island has benefited significantly from the skilled labour force produced by the many programs offered at this first-class Institution. The student body is the heart of the college and their health and well-being are integral to its success. The foundation is in place to help support the students and enhance their college experience, and I am thrilled to be given the opportunity to assist in its growth."

Dr. Katherine Ellis Ghiz - Physician, Queen Elizabeth Hospital

"Holland College plays an integral part in preparing students to thrive in businesses that help shape our Island. As someone who was born and raised on Prince Edward Island, I'm honoured to be a part of such an important institution within our community."

Todd Gregory - Senior Portfolio Manager, RBC Dominion Securities

“I really didn’t fully appreciate what Holland College means to the community until our daughter, Lisa, enrolled in the Foundations program and went on to get her diploma as an early childhood educator. The learning managers and support staff made sure Lisa was supported to be successful! Holland College creates opportunities,  I’m very happy to do my little part to make sure that continues."

John Horrelt - President, REJ Holdings & LandFest Company Ltd.

"It has been said best by Michelle Obama. 

'The ability to read, write, and analyze; the confidence to stand up and demand justice and equality; the qualifications and connections to get your foot in the door and take your seat at the table – all of that starts with education.'

As a strong believer in the value of a good education, and valuing the role that Holland College plays in educating and preparing its students to become valuable contributors in their communities, I am pleased to be able to support and advance the goals of the Holland College Foundation in its work to enhance the contribution Holland College is able to make to our Island community and beyond."

Barbara E. Smith, K.C. - Partner, Stewart McKelvey

"In this day and age, the training that Holland College provides is more important than ever. The Foundation provides assistance to students to allow them to succeed and excel. I am proud to be involved in such an endeavour."
