An interim executive director has been appointed at the Multicultural Council of Windsor and Essex County after Fred Francis became mayor of Windsor in the recent municipal election.

The Board of Directors of the MCC has announced that Daniel Beliciu has been appointed as the organization’s next interim executive director, effective November 14, replacing Francis in that role.

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.”
