The Keewatin-Patricia District School Board has appointed a new Superintendent of Business.
Richard Findlay will replace the retiring Dean Carrie in July.
Findlay began his accounting career with the Kenora Board of Education in 1992 and has since worked in both the private and public sectors throughout the region.
The Board says he has held leadership roles in accounting, finance and business consulting and for the past nine years has owned his own public practice accounting firm in Kenora.
Findlay has also been coaching youth sports for nearly two decades, and is an elected Director on the Copperfin Credit Union Board.
Findlay says with his experience, he hopes to bring a unique perspective to the senior management team.
He notes the Board has an opportunity to contribute in innovative ways to the development of their students and is excited to join an organization that is dedicated and devoted to putting kids first.
Board Chair Dave Penney says his expertise will be a valuable resource for their organization.
Director of Education Sean Monteith says Findlay’s experiences in both the public and private sectors, as well as his unwavering commitment to kids makes his addition to an already strong Senior Administration, a natural fit.
Monteith adds he welcomes his innovative thinking to a restructured organization, built for the future, built for kids.
