About Minda

Background

Minda Rogerson

For over twenty years Minda Rogerson has selflessly given to the community of her time, talent and prodigious energy. During her tenure with the Board of Directors of the Lethbridge Symphony Association, she worked relentlessly at a variety of fund raising events including chairing the organizing committees of Music at the McIntyre and the joint gallery and symphony gala ball, Sentimental Journey. She recently directed her talents to organizing the Harvest Moon Ball which raised funds for St. Michael’s Health Care Centre and annually assists with the Kiwanis Music Festival. In addition to all this, she still finds time to work with new Canadians particularly those from her native Philippines. For this she was awarded the Canada Citizenship Award in 1998.

During her first 20 years in Canada, Minda put her degree in Medical Technology from the Far Eastern University in Manila to good use working in the McGill Neurological Institute, Ottawa and St. John’s General Hospitals and conducting research in Nutritional Biochemistry at Memorial University of Newfoundland.

In 1992, soon after moving to Lethbridge, Minda qualified as a Realtor and joined Sutton Group. In 2002 she received the highest recognition of her peers when the Lethbridge Real Estate Board named her Realtor of the Year.

In addition to her professional and volunteer achievements, she and husband Robert, Professor of Geography at the University of Lethbridge raised two charming daughters Neriza and Luiza.
