He has served as a board member since 2018. He has two sons one of whom has an ASD, which naturally lead him to be a board member. He wants to contribute to make a better society with a hope that Here & Now will become an organization to contribute to a good life of people with disabilities.

Jinha had operated two franchise stores in shipping and printing business for over ten years, and has been working for Federal Government since early 2019.  He had heard about Here and Now Community Society (H&N) for many years, but only started to know H&N after he personally met and assisted one of H&N family members for work experience.  He has been impressive how H&N has been growing and wants to help H&N to achieve their long-term goals.

Since his son with developmental disability joined the Day Program at Here and Now Community Society in 2019, he became a member of board of directors.  After majoring in civil engineering, he worked in the design of underground structures such as subways, road and railway tunnels for about 15 years in Korea. He is currently a member of the Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia (EGBC) and has been working as a geotechnical engineer at an engineering firm since 2008. He hopes his dedication to the agency would be positive to individuals with disabilities in the community for hopeful future ahead.

She is a mother of a son with autism spectrum who has been part of the H&N day program and home share program. She has been an executive member of the Bethesda Parents Society. She has volunteered as an instructor and administrator at Korean senior community school. She has been joining as a family supporter at H&N and as a presenter at CLBC Welcome Workshop. She hopes to contribute to all members of H&N and future families as a H&N board member of directors.

I have a son with developmental disabilities, and currently, I run a small business called CoffeeCube Canada, specializing in upcycling. In 2014, when I left Korea, I became acquainted with Here and Now Community Society while passing through Vancouver and have since established a relationship through sponsorship. I lived in Saint John, New Brunswick for about six years before moving to Vancouver. I hope that my 20 years of accumulated experience in Corporate Finance in Korea, combined with my business experience in Canada, can serve as a positive influence, enabling our children to receive better support and thrive in a better environment.
