Amanda Rogers
Board Member
Amanda first became interested in social justice issues as a young worker in the tourist industry in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Her early exposure to inequity and unfairness—both in the workplace and in the greater community—ignited a life-long interest in advancing causes which seek to make the world fairer for everyone. Professionally, Amanda does this as a union-side labour lawyer with a downtown Vancouver law firm.
