JOIN OUR COMMUNITY. SHAPE THE FUTURE.
President and CEO
Since 1973, Saskatchewan regional colleges have been meeting the needs of people and communities throughout the province, offering citizens a different way to learn. Saskatchewan regional colleges provide the opportunity to access post-secondary education and training right in citizens’ own communities. For many, the regional colleges represent a better way to learn. Following the voluntary merger on July 1st, 2008 between Cypress Hills College and Prairie West College, the new Great Plains College (GPC) set out to capitalize on opportunities for growth through leveraging partnerships and creating capacity across the region. Through a decentralized system of three campuses, program centres, and training centres, it has created new efficiencies and positions to assist learners, employers and communities to grow.
As President& CEO, your first priority is to include full-time and part-time staff members from across our vast region in determining and crafting the shape of GPC’s future. Your role is to inspire them and enlist them in the development of a proactive, dynamic and flexible organization that anticipates and responds to labour market needs. You will work in conjunction with the Board of Governors, governments, the private sector, First Nations communities and academic stakeholders to ensure that GPC’s brand and values are well represented. The oversight of capital projects and special projects that contribute to student learning will also be your responsibility. With your leadership assuredness and strong stewardship to the financial management of the institution will be added. You will be expected to be the face of Great Plains College and its voice on behalf of its students.
In addition to your academic credentials and relevant experience, you have earned a reputation for inspirational leadership and relationship building. Whether you are guiding a community college, a school board, government, a not-for-profit or a private sector corporation, you have excelled at strategic planning, revenue building and people management.
