Prince George, B.C. - Bruce Sutherland has been re-elected as chair of CNC’s Board of Governors for the third time during the College’s board meeting Friday in Fort St. James.
Sutherland, president of Wolftek Industries Inc., said he just couldn’t leave the College of New Caledonia that’s on the verge of so many great things, including about $30 million in upcoming infrastructure construction in Prince George and Quesnel.
“The College is so important to northern communities during these tough economic times, especially to communities like Fort St. James, where we are today,” Sutherland said. “There is a fantastic amount of enthusiasm surrounding the College these days and I just wanted to remain a part of that.”
CNC President John Bowman said he was overjoyed when he learned that Sutherland would stay on as board chair.
“Bruce Sutherland has provided outstanding leadership for CNC in the role of Board Chair,” Bowman said. “His knowledge of Board Governance processes, experience in business, and skills in advocacy and government relations have been instrumental in advancing the College over the past three years.”
Ray Gerow was re-elected as Vice-Chair for Prince George for the third time.“For me, it’s all about the Aboriginal voice being heard at the table,” Gerow said. “And the notion of helping communities is also very important.”
“Ray has been very effective as Vice-Chair, for Prince George,” Bowman said of Gerow, who first joined the board in July 2006.“He has a strong and thoughtful voice on the Board. His experience and knowledge working with Aboriginal people and communities has been very valuable to the Board’s decision-making.”
