Board Member

Jacob Figler began as a member when he was born with Hemophilia. After growing up with the wonderful bleeding disorders community, he decided it was time to give back in some way. Years later he sits on the Executive Board and gets to be an integral part of the community that raised him.

Darren was appointed to the Board in June 2023 as Treasurer. He qualified as a Chartered Accountant in the UK before emigrating to Canada in 2011 where he gained his Canadian CA accreditation. For the past 10 years he has worked at Arne’s Welding who have actively supported CHS-MC.

Cory is a former Chapter president and helped usher the Chapter into a new era of communication and engagement by growing a social media presence with Facebook, Twitter and now Instagram.

Milena believes strongly that the mothers in the bleeding disorders community need to connect with each other. As a result, she is the founder of the “Hemophilia Mother” Facebook group that supports women managing bleeding disorders and continuing to champion women and bleeding disorders here in Manitoba and internationally.

Tony joined the Chapter Board of Directors in 1981. He has served on every Chapter working committee. Tony has been a significant contributor to CHS National with his work on the Youth Committee and the HIV/HCV Task Force. Tony was instrumental in achieving indexation for those members receiving the Multi-Provincial/Territorial Assistance Program.

John has been an active member of the Chapter since 2005, serving many aspects of bleeding disorder’s needs. His current focus is aimed at aging with a bleeding disorder, as it brings new challenges to our membership. John’s commitment to the Chapter stems from seeing a need in the rare bleeding disorders community and aligning those with the CHS-MC Chapter.
