McCarney, Rosemary

Rosemary McCarney is President and CEO of Plan International Canada Inc. (Plan Canada), an international and humanitarian development organization.  Founded as Foster Parents Plan, this NGO now works in more than 45 developing countries helping children and their families achieve lasting improvements in their lives.  That includes the notable “Because I am a Girl” campaign.  Rosemary has an extensive resume in law, business and humanitarian work.   She has been in many nations, where she has worked hard to improve conditions for those in need.

We were very fortunate to host her here at Crestwood on November 25, 2014, when she was the keynote speaker at our 2nd Human Rights and Tolerance Symposium.  She agreed to be interviewed for this project as well, and we thank her for her interest and involvement.
