From 1999 to 2002, he was an instructor at Georgian College of Applied Arts and Technology in Barrie, Ontario.
Since 2007, Lee has served as Vice-President of Communications and Director of Community Relations with Runnymede Healthcare Centre in Toronto. He has held a number of other positions that have added to his experience, including Executive Director at the Cambridge Memorial Hospital Foundation (Cambridge, Ontario); Acting President and Vice-President of Communications with the Scarborough Hospital Foundation (Toronto); Senior Manager of Fund Development and Marketing with the Canadian Diabetes Association (Toronto); Development and Membership Services Manager with Ducks Unlimited Canada (Winnipeg and Barrie); and Manager of Chapter Development with Child Find Ontario Incorporated (Oakville, Ontario).
Some of Lee's fundraising milestones include establishing an autonomous fundraising foundation to support construction of a new state-of-the-art facility for Runnymede Healthcare Centre, designing and implementing successful integrated fund development strategies that attracted new donors and increased overall mission support from $1.4 million to $3.2 million in 18 months for the Cambridge Memorial Hospital Foundation, and successfully recruiting and mentoring the senior volunteer leadership responsible for a $12 million capital campaign for the Scarborough Hospital Foundation.
