After four incredible years of leadership, we say goodbye to our Executive Director, Samantha Rogers. Under her guidance, Elements has expanded, our team has grown stronger, and our impact deeper. Samantha has set a completely new standard of excellence for our organization, her vision and dedication have strengthened our impact, reputation, and inspired countless individuals to take action for the environment.
Serving as the Executive Director at Elements has been the honour of a lifetime for me. I am profoundly grateful to have had the opportunity to contribute to an organization whose mission I believe in so wholeheartedly.
Over the past 4 years, I have had the privilege of working alongside an extraordinary team and dedicated partners across BC and Alberta – Unbounded Canada Foundation, the City of Calgary and the City of Vancouver to name a few. Together, we have accomplished so much, and while transitions inevitably mark change, I cannot wait to cheer you all on as both a volunteer and a donor who believes deeply in this work.
The future for Elements looks bright under the capable leadership of Cailey Meuse, a familiar and trusted leader who has been deeply involved in shaping every aspect of organization over the past 3+ years. With a formal education in both education and environmental subjects and thorough knowledge of the education systems in Alberta and BC, Cailey is the ideal person to carry the momentum we’ve built forward.

While we are sad to see Samantha go, we are immensely grateful for her contributions and wish her all the best as she takes on new opportunities. Ready to build off an incredible foundation developed together, we are thrilled to welcome Elements new Executive Director, Cailey Meuse. With a passion for environmental education and a deep commitment to sustainability, Cailey brings a wealth of experience and energy to our team.
Jumping out of the classroom and into Elements just over 3 years ago was one of the best decisions I could have made. Everyday, I get to work towards a mission I feel deeply connected to with a wonderful team of like-minded people.
One of the amazing people I get to work with is Samantha. Not only is she an incredibly hard worker and thoughtful leader, she is a true friend that the team and I will miss having around. She is a wealth of experience and knowledge, and I am so grateful for our time together and all her mentorship. She will be missed, but we wish her all the best on her next adventure.
As I step into this new role, I am excited to continue leading our team and working with our various partners to carry forward with all the amazing work Sam and I have started together.

Please join us in expressing our deepest gratitude to Samantha and a warm welcome to Cailey as she embarks on this new journey with Elements!
