The former Chief Administrative Officer for the Regional District of Fraser Fort-George has joined the UNBC Board of Governors.
Jim Martin has been appointed to the group after spending three decades with the RDFFG, the last 17 as CAO.
Martin retired from his role back in December.
“Jim Martin brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the Board of Governors that will help support the University as it continues to fulfil its mission to ignite, inspire and lead change,” says UNBC Board of Governors Chair Joel McKay.
In addition, Martin is currently a community representative on the Charles Jago Northern Sport Centre Board of Directors and recently completed his appointment on the board of the BC Games Society, where he served as the Chair of the Finance Committee.
He was also Vice-Chair of the Prince George 2015 Canada Winter Games Host Society and was a founding Director of the International Bioenergy Conference and Exhibition Society.
“I moved to Prince George in 1993 when the University was in its infancy and have watched it grow and develop into an important contributor to the success of northern B.C.,” says Martin. “Many of today’s leaders in northern B.C. private and public sector organizations have their roots in UNBC and I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to the mission of the University’s Board of Governors in supporting the continued development of leaders who ensure the sustainability of our northern communities.”
Martin’s one-year term began on July 31. The Board has elected him as the Vice-Chair.
Amanada Alexander and Trevor Morrison have also been re-appointed to the BOG for two and three years respectively.
