Red Deer College president Joel Ward is set for his second term on the Association of Canadian Community Colleges board of directors.
Ward was appointed at the ACCC’s conference earlier this week in Penticton, B.C. Ward had previously served as a member of the board of directors from 2007-2008, when he was president of Assiniboine Community College. There he represented Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Nunavut region.
“It is a challenging and exciting time for post-secondary institutions across Canada,” said Ward in a release.
“I’m looking forward to working closely with members of the ACCC to advance our pan-Canadian transfer strategy, the national advanced skilled training strategy and the applied research agenda.”
Ward will represent the Alberta and Northwest Territories region for three years with an option for a second term.
“More than ever institutions are looking to collaborate, innovate and find ways to support learners and I look forward to being part of advancing that vision through my role as a member of the board.”
