Today, the provincial government announced the appointment of Kathryn (Kate) Chisholm as Chair of the University of Alberta Board of Governors, effective immediately.
Kate Chisholm is senior vice-president and Chief Legal and Sustainability Officer for Capital Power and was chair of MORE, a mentoring program for young female professionals. I look forward to working closely with Kate Chisholm over the coming months.
In addition, the Government of Alberta appointed five new members to the Board of Governors:
- Daniel Eggert, public member
- Larry Kaumeyer, public member
- Rakesh Saraf, public member
- Tom Ross, public member
- James Rajotte, public member
When information about outgoing board members becomes available, the university’s board membership page will be updated.
I would like to thank Michael Phair for his commitment and service to the University of Alberta in his role as chair. We have greatly appreciated all his efforts on the institution’s behalf.
On behalf of the University of Alberta, I want to congratulate Kate Chisholm, and all of our new appointees, and welcome them to our community.
Yours sincerely,
David H. Turpin
President and Vice-Chancellor
