Adele Finney, a writer and spiritual director from the diocese of Toronto, has been appointed executive director of The Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund (PWRDF), effective Jan. 1, 2011.

Finney has served as interim executive director at PWRDF since March 2010; she also served as interim director from 2006-2007. Prior to that, Finney worked with PWRDF’s parish and diocesan partnership program and as fundraising and promotions co-ordinator.
