There will soon be a new person at the helm of the North Bay-Mattawa Conservation Authority (NBMCA).
Carolyn J. Rodgers becomes Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) and Secretary-Treasurer on April 28.
Officials say with a distinguished career in public service and environmental management, Rodgers brings a wealth of experience and a strong commitment to sustainable conservation practices and a community focused approach.
“We are excited to welcome Carolyn to the NBMCA team,” says Michelle Lahaye, Chair of the NBMCA Board of Directors. “Her extensive leadership experience, strategic vision, and dedication to environmental stewardship will be invaluable as we continue to conserve and enhance our watershed’s natural resources.”
Rodgers previously served as the General Manager, Watershed Restoration Services for the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority.
“I am honoured to join the North Bay Mattawa Conservation Authority and excited to collaborate with the team, our municipal partners, and the community to promote sustainable practices and conserve and restore the watershed’s natural resources,” says Rodgers. “I look forward to building on the organization’s strong foundation and continuing to drive meaningful environmental outcomes.”
She takes over from Chithra Gowda, who resigned last June to take on a role with an Eastern Ontario conservation authority.
Dave Mendicino is acting CAO, Secretary Treasurer until Rodgers arrival.
