Executive Leadership Team
Ms. Sandy Milakovic, CEO, started at CMHA/Peel in 1980. A Registered Nurse, Sandy left hospital work and started her career in community mental health with PAR Clubhouse. Sandy held progressive positions with CMHA/Peel, finally becoming Executive Director in 1999. As a senior manager, Sandy earned her certificate in Voluntary Sector Management, providing a valuable balance between front line and administrative skills in leading the Branch. Given her trustworthiness, sound judgment, and leadership, Sandy was integral in fully transitioning the Board to a governance board. Sandy is highly regarded both within CMHA/Peel and within the local and provincial community mental health sector.

Ms. Helen Gemmell is the Senior Director, Corporate Services. A Certified Management Accountant, Helen also earned a degree in Math & Computer Science and teacher’s certificate from York University. Prior to joining the branch in 1982, Helen was an elementary school teacher and Manager at Great-West Life Assurance Co & Corporate Planning Assoc. Serving in progressive finance positions, Helen now leads a team of six staff dedicated to human resources, finance, operations, and fund raising. Helen has the integrity necessary to establish trust and accountability with funders and the Board of Directors.

Ms. Nancy Bratkovic joined the Senior Management Team in February 2006 as the Director, Community Resource Services and is responsible for Street Outreach and the PAR Clubhouse programs. Promoted from the position of Senior Manager, Clubhouse Services, Nancy has worked with CMHA/Peel for 17 years and was part of the Clubhouse's transition from a less structured program to one based on the international model of "clubhouse".  Nancy is a Registered Social Service Worker and holds a Bachelor of Arts. Nancy's thoughtful reflective approach adds a valuable dimension to the team.

Ms Christine Devoy is the newest member of the Senior Management Team, having joined CMHA Peel in April 2007 as Director, Clinical Services. She is responsible for Mental Health and Justice Services, Access to Recovery Case Management, and our newest program, CMHA/Peel ACT (Assertive Community Treatment). In May, 2010 she became Chief Operating Officer. Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the Chief Operating Officer (COO) is responsible for leading and managing all CMHA/Peel services and programs. In this role, Christine will be responsible for all internal programs operations including program planning, operating, quality assurance, funding compliance and staffing at the highest level. Christine holds a Masters Degree in Social Work, a BA in Psychology and is a Registered Social Worker. Christine brings with her over 25 years of experience in clinical management and social work roles in various community organizations, hospitals, and EAP organizations throughout Ontario and in the Cayman Islands. As well, Christine has taught social work/social service work at the university and college level, respectively. With her keen interest in organizational and program development, Christine will be able to assist our organization during this exciting time of change.
