Colleagues describe her as "I was an officer of the WSCF throughout Christine's term as General Secretary, and I can attest that Christine gave 110% to the job. First and foremost, she worked to manage change and maximize assets in our organization ( in a challenging period). She was able to motivate people in the organization to reach new levels of strategic planning and stretch our imaginations for growth strategies. She is incredibly resourceful. Partner relations were a top priority for Christine, and she was able to leverage partnerships in many ways that benefited the organization financially and programmatically. She brought in more new funding sources as well as goods and services than any of her predecessors. She filled the office with a motivated team of volunteers, acquired donated computers and supplies, and found grants and secondment arrangements to staff the office. Christine is also very persistent. When we hit barriers, be they funding barriers or internal politics, Christine pushed through them by staying tuned into her internal moral compass. She maintained good will toward those who disagreed with her, and maintained a problem-solving posture during conflicts. I also feel Christine is a good mentor. Many of the volunteers and interns who worked with Christine were enriched by working with her, and I personally experienced her concern for the professional and personal growth of all she works with." and "Indefatigable Christine a good team leader,goal getter, lover of Christ, accommodating and a good team worker. I highly commend her zeal and energy especially in relating from people from different contexts and cultures. She is a genius."
