C crvvr, "But, a good part of my success is that I absolutely love what I'm doing -- and what it also means to the foundation, the hospital and donors," Lloyst-Shaw said. "It's why I've done so well and can say I'll be doing this in another 10 years. I consider it a real honour to be at the hospital foundation." A young and competitive work force in her field keeps her healthy, she chuckled. "You've got the 30-somethings that are coming out of college and university, some of whom may have job- related experience, so that really keeps you on your toes." A passionate gardener, sailor and Rotarian, Lloyst- Shaw managed her own business (Drake International) and was a successful stockbroker before coming on board with the BGH Foundation as a Certified Fund Raising Executive more than six years ago. In addition to managing a full-time career, Lloyst- Shaw has delved deeply into the community as a vol- unteer for a number of local not-for-profit and charita- ble organizations. The list of committees and appointments she has held over the years is long, from serving as president of the Belleville Family YMCA and as a director of the local Chamber of Commerce to working closely with the United Way of Quinte and establishing the 'Winterfest in the Village1 event in the downtown core several years ago. The latter earned her one of a number of communi- ty-related awards, the Al Kelleher Community Spirit Award, which was handed out by the Belleville Business Improvement Area. Lloyst-Shaw was a provincially-appointed member of the Belleville Police Services Board in the early 1990s, during a period when the relationship between ;,. > management and uniformed members was "confronta- tional and morale very low," a climate that ultimately resulted in a provincial inquiry. She stayed on the board not only through the inves- tigation, but was able to strike a deal with members of three collective bargaining units "while creating an air of respect," her nomination papers glowingly outline. "Hazel has demonstrated that through hard work, determination, continuing education, seeking out men- tors, not being afraid to take a risk and being willing to share her own knowledge with others, a woman can successfully make one or more major and positive career changes. "Her strength, courage, positive attitude and willing- ness to share her knowledge with others makes her a role model for other 'Women in Business.1" ,M S .A Qp \ e YYJ^ \i - Gc-f. p '̂
