Dayana’s career has been dedicated to advancing causes with meaningful social and environmental impact. She brings a strong track record of forging partnerships that drive fundraising success, elevate organizational visibility, and engage community support.

“I’m honoured to join the Credit Valley Conservation Foundation and to help advance the mission of protecting and connecting people to the natural beauty of the Credit River Watershed,” said Gomez. “As someone who deeply values conservation, I’m inspired by the Foundation’s work and excited to help grow its reach and impact in support of Credit Valley Conservation’s important initiatives.”

Dayana’s appointment marks a new chapter of growth and innovation, according to the CVCF, as it continues working to build a healthy, resilient, and connected watershed for future generations.

“We are proud to welcome Dayana and support her in this new leadership role,” said Ed Arundell, Chair of the CVC Foundation Board.
