The individual to fill this position must have demonstrated leadership experience at the CEO/EO/Board Secretary level and possess a proven ability to build and manage multiple professional relationships. Experience in public administration, association management or business management is strongly preferred as is experience in professional/occupational regulation. Consideration will also be given to candidates with experience in real estate related activities or Not For Profit organizations. Candidates should possess strong interpersonal skills; have excellent writing skills and be a superior verbal communicator. This is a “hands on role” and the right candidate will be required to maintain the accounting books and records for the corporation.
