Current Board of Directors
Wendy Quinn, President
Wendy Quinn joined Hemophilia Saskatchewan in 2009. Prior to joining the Board, she was aware of the good work that HSK was doing in the Saskatchewan community.

Wendy finds the volunteer work of Hemophilia Saskatchewan fulfilling and looks forward to helping other countries with Hemophilia care in the near future. Wendy also sits on the Board of CHS, representing the Saskatchewan chapter. She is honored to be on the Board and hold the President position. |

Both boys are diagnosed with Severe Hemophilia A. Over the years, Celena has volunteered with organizing various activities including Christmas parties, fundraisers, Woman's Conference, and Guys Getaway.

In 2015, her newborn son, Vaughn, was diagnosed with severe Hemophilia A and the family decided they needed to renew their relationship with the chapter to ensure that he has a strong support system to grow up with, along with getting the needed support for the entire family while dealing with his diagnosis. As a teen, Brittany had a youth programming leadership role in the chapter and she is happy to be involved again now with children of her own. |
Angie Bedard-Haughn, Director

Over the years, Angie and Dean have volunteered for various chapter activities, including the annual Christmas party, Guys' Getaways, and the 2011 Women and Bleeding Disorders Conference.
