Jess Wind, President
Jess is a small-business owner, a freelance writer, and an instructor at the University of the Fraser Valley. She has an M.A. in communications from Carleton University and is just as smart and fancy as she sounds. She also plays a mean game of Mario Kart, knows a lot about zombies, and shares a birthday with Harry Potter.
Dessa Bayrock, Secretary
Dessa has two English degrees, a passion for book reviews, and not enough coffee. By day, she is a PhD student at Carleton University, where she studies book prizes and gnashes her teeth over the state of CanLit. She lives 5000 kilometres away from the rest of the board members, and is a self-described Google Hangouts prodigy. You can find her, or, at least, more about her, at dessabayrock.com
