Northwestern Polytechnic has announced the appointment of three new members to the school’s Board of Governors.
Dr. Tyler May, Mr. Mike McMann, and Ms. Heather Kerschbaumer were officially confirmed by a Government of Alberta Order in Council on June 20th, and all three individuals will serve a term of three years.
NWP Board of Governors Cher says the appointments were necessary as the polytech continues to expand its programming.
“As our programming continues to evolve, so does the Board, and we look forward to the insight our new regional members bring to the table,” she says. “These new appointments will undoubtedly assist us as we focus on engaging our communities, growing our enrolment, and advancing polytechnic education in the region.”
All three of the new board members have established themselves as local leaders across Northern Alberta and the Peace Region, with Dr. May completing his medical residency in Dawson Creek, McMann serving as superintendent of the Fort Vermillion School Division, and Kerschbaumer working in the agriculture sector in Fairview.
