REGINA — Board of director appointments have been announced in the Crown sector.
Out of a current total of 66 board members, there are:
- five individuals who are changing responsibilities by being appointed to a new Crown;
- 15 individuals who are new to the Crown sector; and
- 24 individuals who are reappointed in their current Crown board.
These changes are a result of both board renewal and current expiration of terms.
Board renewal is rooted in sound governance practice, and any outgoing board members' skills, expertise and knowledge are evaluated for potential reappointments or redeployments to other government boards, explains Sask. Crown Investments Corporation in a press release.
"The oversight role of Saskatchewan's commercial Crowns directly contributes to the province's strong economy and a bright future for the people of Saskatchewan,” Crown Investments Corporation Minister Jeremy Harrison said.
"The individuals appointed today have the skills, knowledge and abilities to perform these duties as effectively as past board members have."
All board members are being asked to serve to carry out the Crown Sector Strategic Priorities, which provide high-level shareholder direction that aligns the Crown sector with the government's goals and priorities and are as follows:
- affordability;
- reliability;
- economic growth; and
- strong financial management.
All board members are subject to criminal record checks and are supported with board training and orientation.
All the new appointments are Saskatchewan residents.
