Pilar Martinez is the Chief Executive Officer of the Edmonton Public Library<\/a> (EPL), where she is responsible for strategic leadership, supporting the Board of Trustees, stakeholder relations and being a true EPL Information Ninja.<\/p>\n

She was the main champion behind the implementation of EPL\u2019s community-led service framework and brings her passion for community to building projects as well, focusing on creating amazing spaces that provide opportunities for learning, creating and connecting. EPL\u2019s latest project, the Stanley A. Milner Library (pictured in this photo), will offer spaces for people to meet, learn and play \u2013 maybe even with little green cars. <\/p>\n

Pilar and her husband Tim have two amazing kids, Jeremy and Ethan, and a dog named Sadie.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.19.14″ disabled=”off” disabled_on=”off|off|off”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_divider color=”#eaeaea” show_divider=”on” divider_style=”solid” divider_position=”top” hide_on_mobile=”on” height=”2″ disabled_on=”on|on” \/][et_pb_text admin_label=”Fun Facts Header” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”center” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” text_font=”|on|||” text_font_size=”32″ module_alignment=”center” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial”]\n

Pilar went skydiving back in the day when you did it solo without being in tandem with an expert skydiver.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_blurb admin_label=”Blurb 2″ use_icon=”on” font_icon=”%%171%%” text_orientation=”center” background_color=”#f9f9f9″ use_border_color=”on” custom_padding=”20px|20px|20px|20px” _builder_version=”3.19.15″ border_color_all=”#d1d1d1″ border_width_all=”2px” animation=”off”]\n

Although she loves her job, she’s been known to dream about being a “sommelier at some wine bar in Barcelona”.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb admin_label=”Blurb 6″ use_icon=”on” font_icon=”%%483%%” text_orientation=”center” background_color=”#f9f9f9″ use_border_color=”on” custom_padding=”20px|20px|20px|20px” _builder_version=”3.19.15″ border_color_all=”#d1d1d1″ border_width_all=”2px” animation=”off”]\n

Shockingly, she once said “I don\u2019t really dream of cars.” But if she did, it would be of a Mercedes convertible.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_blurb admin_label=”Blurb 3″ use_icon=”on” font_icon=”%%165%%” text_orientation=”center” background_color=”#f9f9f9″ use_border_color=”on” custom_padding=”20px|20px|20px|20px” _builder_version=”3.19.15″ border_color_all=”#d1d1d1″ border_width_all=”2px” animation=”off”]\n

She loves to travel, especially with the boys (her husband and sons). One of their favourite places to visit is Hawaii, where they go on adventures looking for freshwater swim holes and waterfalls.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb admin_label=”Blurb 6″ use_icon=”on” font_icon=”%%257%%” text_orientation=”center” background_color=”#f9f9f9″ use_border_color=”on” custom_padding=”20px|20px|20px|20px” _builder_version=”3.19.15″ border_color_all=”#d1d1d1″ border_width_all=”2px” animation=”off”]\n
