Toronto, ON, Nov. 09, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Board of Directors of AdvantAge Ontario is pleased to announce the appointment of Lisa Levin as Chief Executive Officer, effective February 5, 2018.

An avid community volunteer, she sits on the Advisory Committee of Neshama Hospice, and on the Genetic Discrimination Advisory Committee with the Center for Israel and Jewish Affairs.
