Introducing Riz Nathoo
Diane Macdonald
Riz's roots in Calgary extend back to a time when the city's population was less than half of its current size. He pursued his undergraduate studies at the University of Calgary and later earned his MBA from the University of Fredericton. Riz embarked on his career in the charitable sector at the Salvation Army and has since risen to the role of Vice President of Donor Engagement at Calgary Foundation.
Guided by values of integrity, connection, and compassion, Riz is committed to addressing intricate societal challenges and believes in the transformative power of collective experiences, continuous learning, embracing diversity, truth telling, and deep listening.
Nature holds a special place in Riz's life, serving as both a sanctuary and a source of joy. Whether exploring hiking trails and bike paths around the Rockies or immersing himself in a compelling book, he finds inspiration in the simplicity and beauty of these moments.
Please introduce yourself to Riz when you next see him at a meeting.
