Madeiros New Chairman: Centre on Philanthropy
Insurance executive Brian Duppereault officially handed over the chairman of the Board position to Bermudian Brian Madeiros at The Centre on Philanthropy’s Annual General Meeting on Monday November 29, at Charities House in Paget.
Mr. Madeiros, who assumed the position on July 1 of this year, paid tribute to Mr. Duppereault’s five years at the helm, citing his valuable contributions not only to The Centre but to Bermuda’s charitable sector as a whole – particularly in the areas of governance and volunteerism.

Under Mr. Dupperrealt’s leadership The Centre underwent a number of significant changes, and was responsible for several improvements to the Third Sector. Highlights include the hiring of a new executive director in 2005 and the establishment of a biennial Third Sector Conference, the third of which will take place in February 2011.
“Mr. Duppereault’s personal passion was and continues to be in the area of volunteerism,” said Mr. Madeiros. “His commitment resulted in the launch of Bermuda’s first online volunteer centre (VOLUNTEER.bm), the integration of volunteerism in Bermuda corporate culture and a major volunteer awareness campaign.”
Mr. Duppereault will now assume the position of Chairman Emeritus in the newly created class of Directors Emeritus, of which The Centre’s founder Cummings Zuill is also a member.
Monday’s AGM also saw Matt Ambrose, Barbara Bufkin and Amanda Outerbridge elected to the Board as Class Three Directors.

The Centre on Philanthropy was created by a group of committed volunteers in 1991 to encourage an attitude of giving, promote volunteerism and document charitable behaviours and issues in Bermuda. The Centre has subsequently evolved into a resource centre for Bermuda’s entire Third Sector – charities, donors and volunteers – offering training and education, advocacy, sector integration, research and public awareness.
