Mahtab Laghaei

She/Her

WTC Staff Member 2020-2023

Mahtab was one of the first staff members of WTC, from 2020 to 2023 when she left to pursue graduate school. When Mahtab first joined WTC, the organization had only 1 staff member, which grew to 7 during her tenure. Mahtab had a transformative impact on WTC - she ran Watch Council, led the 2022 Hot Pink Paper Campaign, and built critical relationships with community organizations so we could work in partnership and amplify their priorities. Mahtab also developed instrumental tools like inclusive facilitation guides, and ensured we were centering marginalized communities and lifting up their most pressing issues to ensure greater equity in the City of Vancouver. Mahtab's legacy will influence the work at WTC for a long time.
