    Profile
     J. M. (Mac) Ferguson graduated from Saint John High School in 1949 after which he worked for Cox Hammett Accounting from where he earned his C.A. degree. Always active and engaging, Mac joined the Sea Cadets serving more than ten years and becoming a Chief Officer. In 1955, Mac married Phyllis Dykeman and together raised a family of 3 boys and one girl.
     Mac joined the Boys and Girls Club’s Board of Directors in 1972 and continues to serve on the Board to this day. Mac became the Club’s treasurer from 1977 through 1979. He served as First Vice-President 1981- 82 and became the Club President in 1982 and served for two terms. His tenure as Past President was 1984-1986.
     During his time on the Board of Directors, he has been chairperson of the Finance, Building, Transportation, Program, and Executive Committees. In 1974, the year of the Club fire, he played an instrumental role in the rebuilding campaign that gave us the Club we are in today. He also assisted in developing a transportation service in 1977, which necessitated the acquisition of 15 passenger vans totalling seven over the years and a 43 passenger bus in 1989.
     While Mr. Ferguson was serving on our Board of Directors, he was also a member of the Saint John Rotary Club, for which he has held various positions, including Vice-President and President. Mr. Ferguson was recognized for his outstanding contribution as a Rotarian with the awarding of the Paul Harris Fellowship, which is the highest recognition bestowed upon a Rotarian.
     Mac has been a very involved, dedicated and conscientious Board member who has been instrumental in major developments within the Saint John Boys and Girls Club. Mr. Ferguson is highly respected by his peers and by the staff and volunteers of the Club. After forty years of dedication, it is most fitting that the Saint John Boys and Girls Club induct Mr. J. M. (Mac) Ferguson in to the Order of the Master Builders, the 20th day of January 2012.
