An interim executive director has been appointed at the Multicultural Council of Windsor and Essex County after Fred Francis was elected mayor of Windsor following the recent municipal election. The organization’s board of directors announced Daniel Beliciu has been appointed interim executive director effective Nov. 14, succeeding Francis. Beliciu joined the MCC in 2018 before spending more than a decade teaching at the University of Windsor and two years as a national program manager with Palette Skills Canada. He returned to the MCC in 2022 as director of programs and development. “We are incredibly proud to announce Daniel Beliciu as the next interim executive director of the MCC,” Dr. Saad Jasim, president of the MCC board of directors, said in a statement. “Daniel brings extensive organizational knowledge, leadership experience, and a deep understanding of the MCC’s programs, people and community partnerships. We are confident in his ability to lead the organization into its next chapter while continuing to build on the strong foundation that has been established over the years.” The Multicultural Council of Windsor and Essex County is a non-profit organization that helps newcomers, immigrants, refugees, international students and temporary foreign workers settle and integrate into the community.
