I am pleased to announce that the Senior Appointments & Compensation Committee has approved Ms. Nadina Jamison’s role as Executive Director, Stakeholder Relations & Strategic Initiatives be revised to Assistant Vice-President, Strategic Initiatives effective October 31, 2016.

This change reflects the very substantial growth of activity associated with the implementation of strategic priorities within the Office of the President since Nadina’s initial appointment as Executive Director in 2014. Nadina facilitates the development of specific initiatives that align with the Three Priorities and other university-wide strategic goals. She now has responsibility for coordinating and ensuring alignment across the various Vice-Presidential portfolios and other senior stakeholders to support execution of strategic initiatives, as well as overseeing the development and execution of change management strategies and plans with measurable objectives in support of institutional initiatives. In addition to these responsibilities, Nadina will continue to identify opportunities for my office to engage with members of the University community, as well as external stakeholders, on a regular basis.

I am grateful that Ms. Jamison will continue to be a key member of my senior leadership team. I hope you will join me in congratulating her on her new role.
