She began her professional career in public relations and fundraising with the Windsor Symphony Orchestra in 1992 as the organization’s Marketing Intern.
“The Windsor Symphony Orchestra is a dynamic, important organization in our community, and I am honoured to play a role in the WSO story. I feel privileged to continue the remarkable work done by Sheila Wisdom and to working with Maestro Robert Franz, the talented musicians, expert administrative staff, dedicated Board of Directors and generous donors, patrons, and community partners,” said Lauzon.
