Executive Transition at the Aphasia Institute

After leading the Aphasia Institute since 1987, Dr. Aura Kagan will be stepping down as Executive Director and transitioning to a new role as Executive Advisor, Strategy, Applied Research and Education as of April 1, 2023. We are pleased to announce that the current Director, Clinical Services and National/ Provincial Education Lead, Natalie Gierman MHSc. PMP, has been appointed to the Executive Director role.

"I’ve been working at the Aphasia Institute since early 2007 and I love my job. It's incredibly rewarding to work in a collaborative environment where I get to be part of life-changing work for people living with aphasia and the healthcare providers who serve them. I feel affirmed, encouraged and supported as we work together on innovative and dynamic initiatives that accomplish our mission and vision in new, creative and resourceful ways."
