MEDA welcomes Jon Unger Brandt

I am pleased to welcome Jon Unger Brandt as vice president, marketing & resource development for MEDA.

In this new role, Jon will develop an overall marketing strategy that broadens MEDA's focus beyond the Anabaptist community. In addition, he will be accountable for resource development, achieving financial targets for member donations and other contributions and investments. Jon will also expand MEDA's image and exposure, enhancing MEDA's influence on key issues.

We are very happy to have Jon joining our team. With the addition of Jon's expertise, we intend to become known more broadly for the work we are doing to reduce poverty around the globe through business solutions.

Jon adds that he is "excited to have this opportunity to bring my skills to MEDA. It is a privilege to be a part of MEDA's mission in helping the poor around the world and sharing how our MEDA members make a difference in their own workplace."

For the past five years, Jon has been director of advancement with Eastern Mennonite Missions in Pennsylvania, leading the public relations, media and resource development teams. Media relations, graphic design, resource development, events & church relations, database and IT have all been part of his role.

Jon is a graduate of the University of Winnipeg and Red River College, with an MBA from Taylor University. Although he will be based in MEDA's Lancaster, PA office, Jon also will be a frequent presence in the Waterloo office.

Sincerely,

Allan Sauder
President
