  Hired as the Program Director for the Workers Arts and Heritage Centre in 1995, in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, Renee was subsequently named Executive Director in 2000. In those roles she has curated exhibits, managed community arts projects, advocated for cultural workers and managed the operations of the Centre. Her work often focuses on the inclusion of diverse and marginalized communities in framing their stories of struggle and oppression. In 2002 she won the Queens Golden Jubilee Medal for Community Service and was named Woman of the Year in the Arts by the Hamilton Status of Women Committee for 2004. Also working as a consultant in Strategic Planning and Community Development, Renee has assisted organizations to define their strategic goals and objectives. Through these other efforts, she tries to build understanding and create pathways for systemic changes to end racist practices at an organizational level.
