OUTSPORTÂ TORONTOÂ is pleased to announce that Gerlinde Weger has been appointed to its board of directors,heading up its Marketing, Communications, and Public Relations efforts. Â Weger was appointed at OUTSPORTÂ TORONTO's 16 December 2013 board meeting.
"I'm delighted to have Gerlinde join us," said OUTSPORTÂ TORONTOÂ Chair Shawn Sheridan. Â "We have had a vacancy in this area for some time, and I am confident that Gerlinde's advertising and communications background, along with her strong brand awareness will be increadibly valuable to us."
Weger started her career in international advertising, working in Canada, Germany and Hong Kong. Â She then joined a ground breaking Internet development company where she lead teams that created the first full service online banking site in Europe and the first personalised, data-base driven banking site in the United States.
