Victoria Nicolaou with the Niagara Dailies wrote an article about diversity on NC’s Board of Governors. In the article she notes how 10 of the 18 current Board members are women, including NC’s Chair Wendy Wing and Vice-Chair Caroline Mann.
NC’s Corporate Communications Manager Michael Wales, who is quoted throughout the article, also mentions that the Board prioritized identifying a candidate with an Indigenous background, which was fulfilled when former RW & Co President Lora Tisi, an NC alumna, joined the Board this fall.
The article also explains the selection process and includes comments from NCSAC President Sam Jemison, who notes, “I am under the impression that a diverse background, with diverse perspectives, is an important quality in new candidates they elect.”
