"You don‘t get the full picture in a week or two," she said. "The greatest challenge now is to find out what needs to be done."

In meetings already held with ethnic groups in Oakville, Kesebi said she had found them "enthusiastic and open about anyone interested in them and their activities." Kesebi is responsible for administerâ€" ing the Council‘s programs and services, managing its finances and carrying out its mandates.

She said the newlyâ€"created post of managing director is the result of the Council‘s recent staff reorganization. Its former executiveâ€"director, Sharon White, is still associated with the agency as a consultant to the Halton Multicultural Business Association. Kesebi heads a staff of five â€" three fullâ€"time and two partâ€"time employees â€" as well as three students eager to acquire experience in a nonâ€"profit agency. The 29â€"yearâ€"old managing director came to the Council after working for about two years as a planning consultant with the Halton Social Planning Council, her first job after graduating from Dalhousie University with two degrees â€" an honours Bachelor of Arts in International Relations and a Masters in Public Administration. She attended Prince Andrew High School in Halifax. Throughout her academic career, she was involved with the Multicultural Association of Nova Scotia and was coâ€" ordinator of the Multicultural Youth Association of Nova Scotia. At universiâ€" ty, she worked with ethnic groups on campus. Although forging a closer link between the ethnic and established comâ€" munities was part of her goal, she said the greater challenge was "getting youth to appreciate their backgrounds, to welâ€" come their new life here and to integrate the two." ? * j
