LU Board of Governors elects new chair

The Laurentian University Board of Governors has elected a chair to lead the board until June 2022 in keeping with its bylaws.

The board will be chaired by Jeff Bangs on an interim basis until a new board chair is selected for a full term, which would begin at the end of June.

Bangs specializes in public sector decision making, policy advocacy, public and stakeholder relations, and has nearly 30 years of experience in government and politics.

The Board of Governors will hold their next meeting next month.

The board appointed five members last month.

They are Debbi Nicholson, Don Duval, Robert Brouillette, Gerard (Gerry) Bilodeau, and Bangs.

These volunteer members were appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council and they join nine other volunteer members of the Board.
