SGACL - Key Persons
My name is Ann-Marie Cartwright. I am a 58 year old store owner, dog lover and mother of one (with Special Needs). I'm on the board because it's important to me that all people have a home and too many people are overlooked by society because they can't look after themselves so they need advocates.
Job Titles:
- President of the Board of Directors

I am Deb Harris Shallow and I have lived in Dorion for 47 years. I am a business owner and Municipal Councillor. I have been a member of many volunteer boards and committees over the years.
I have a deep interest in the developmental services sector as my two daughters are members of SGACL. I am committed to working toward the growth and modernization of our association to help improve the lives of those we serve.
I'm a proud mother and grandmother to two boys and four grandchildren. Family has always been very important to me! I enjoy entertaining and relaxing with family and friends. After thirty years in the bank industry I retired in 2017. In 2021 I returned to the workforce in the construction industry as a payroll administrator and I am enjoying it. I volunteer on the SGACL Board because I want to donate my time and knowledge to a good cause. I find being on the board is rewarding. I believe that SGACL has come a long way since I started on the board years ago and I am looking forward to the changes of the future.
