City of Belleville Physician Recruiter Karen Poste was honoured as a Woman of Distinction Wednesday at the UNAC-Quinte Branch International Women's Day Dinner at The Grand, March 8, 2023. Karen Poste, a long time city employee who was also the Manager of Economic Development for several years, was honoured as a Woman of Distinction at Wednesday’s International Women’s Day event hosted by The United Nations Association in Canada, Quinte Branch.
Belleville was very fortunate, indeed, to have Karen join their team because she brought to her new job, as Manager of Economic and Strategic Development, nine years of invaluable experience in by-law enforcement, emergency planning, budgeting, and project management. In her new position, Karen’s main goals and objectives were business retention and business attraction. In addition she was to become actively involved in a wide variety of community-building initiatives.
“I started in the Township of Thurlow, then hired asa Junior land use planner shortly after graduation – lots of amazing people who were so kind and patient with me, Reeves and council members that were so supportive, and my boss, Gary King, who allowed me to try whatever work I wanted and answered every question I asked. Those Thurlowfolks were so accepting of a little Thurlow girl who was so eager to do a good job.
“They have been the team I have relied on – the team that kept me sane during some very difficult times”. Here are just a few of the investments and projects on which Karen has had the pleasure of working for the benefit of the Belleville community: Karen strongly supports and praises businesses and not-for-profit organizations which have contributed so much to Belleville’s success. She also writes of the critically important positive relationships that must be established both within local councils and between local government and businesses. She writes, “Council’s leadership in economic development is key.
