The Parkland College Board of Governors has announced that President and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Fay Myers will retire at the end of the 2014-2015 academic year. Myers will step down effective June 30, 2015.
Dr. Myers has led Parkland College since 1997. During her tenure, the College has strengthened, evolved, and excelled at meeting the training and education needs of students, communities, and industry in the Parkland region and beyond. Under her leadership, the direction and sustainability of the College into the 21st century has been of paramount importance and continues to be achieved.
"This is the right time to make this decision to retire," she comments. "The College will be opening the Trades and Technology Centre in Yorkton next fall and will have new strategic directions to achieve. I have truly enjoyed my 18 years with Parkland College working with amazing people."
The Board of Governors reluctantly accepts Dr. Myers' resignation and takes this opportunity to express its gratitude for her extraordinary vision and leadership.
"Dr. Myers has guided Parkland College to its position as a well-established educational institution leading in innovation and excellence," says Lydia Cyr, chairperson of the Parkland College Board of Governors. "We are fortunate to have benefited from Dr. Myers' dedication, hard work, and achievements..."
The Board will immediately begin its search for a successor to Dr. Myers.
