Marjorie (Madge) Patterson is a founding member of the United Friends of Highgate. From the start, she recognized and accepted the importance of helping in the development of her childhood town. She did not think twice to accept the position of secretary and later director of UFOH. She utilized her experienced in the business design and development to help launch the organization.
Her even-tempered, calm demeanour hides the real dedicated business consultant who is truly Madge Patterson. Her experience and expertise range for business development and tax consulting through financial management and complex administration functions. She will tell you that her love for UHOH is heightened by the camaraderie of the members and the ability to focus not only on “building a better Highgate” but to have fun while doing so. This is UFOH’s twofold objective.
“My continued affiliation with UFOH results from residing in Highgate during my childhood and maintaining life-long friendships with fellow members and residents. I continue to be enthralled my commitment to ‘give back’ to Highgate but most importantly our remarkable efforts to assist in the development of surrounding districts”.
