AFAC Staffing Changes
With the transition to more of an agency model for AFAC HR needs, we have opened up the opportunity for more collaboration and building of expertise among existing contractors and some new faces.
In early 2020, Kristen Lepp moved on to new opportunities with her own communications consulting business – one of her clients continues to be AFAC and we are thrilled to be able to bring her expertise back to the table for various projects.

Sharron Johannasen has been with AFAC for over a decade in a variety of roles including, and most importantly, as Financial Officer. Her deep knowledge of the business and people in the livestock sector have been invaluable and we hope to keep her engaged well into her retirement as an ad hoc advisor!
Thank you to Sharron and the “Kristens” for all of your passion, hard work and dedication over the years. You will always be honourary AFAC family members!
Kaylee Sheets has been the voice behind every virtual call, workshop and meeting in 2020. What began as an internship through the Youth Employment and Skills Program (YESP) has become a permanent (we hope!) contract with AFAC. Besides being our Zoom pro she is also very skilled at all things admin and project management related- we are very lucky to have her.
Dr. Melissa Moggy is a veterinarian and the AFAC extension lead – and the constant amid all the changes this year. If there is a project or resource you need, talk to Melissa. Thank you Melissa for all your efforts in 2020.
Maria Swan has joined us in the role of bookkeeper. With over 20 years’ experience ranging from controller to bookkeeper with both not-for-profits and in the energy sector, she brings a wealth of knowledge and insights that will serve AFAC very well. You can reach Maria at [email protected] with any financial questions.
In early 2020, Makenna Moore participated in a student project for AFAC with her Mount Royal University communications class. She joined us in the role of social media coordinator in the summer and has been doing such a great job ramping up our presence and engagement on our social media channels, we decided to keep her on!
Please join us in welcoming Maria and Makenna to the AFAC family.
