The Comox Valley Airport Commission Announces Appointment of New Board Chair The Comox Valley Airport Commission (CVAC) is pleased to announce the appointment of Director Brad Minton as Chair of the Commission's Board of Directors. The appointment was acclaimed following the resignation of Ken Dawson, effective today. Dawson has served the Comox Valley Airport Commission since 2005 and became Chair in 2008. "On behalf of the Board of Directors, it has been a privilege serving under Ken's leadership," said Chair Brad Minton. "His professionalism, integrity and commitment are unmatched and while we wish him the best in his new pursuits, his meaningful contributions to the Comox Valley Airport and broader community will be thoroughly missed." Minton's appointment was unanimously endorsed at a Board of Directors meeting on March 11, 2011. He will serve out the remainder of Dawson's term until 2012. The appointment leaves the position of Vice Chair temporarily vacant. The Board Secretary, as Registrar of Elections, will now canvas board members for expressions of interest in the position. The CVAC Governance Committee will also begin the process of recruiting a new Member to replace Dawson on the Commission. Dawson was nominated by the Local Governments Nominating Entity and the Committee will now seek replacement nominees from the City of Courtenay, the Town of Comox, the Village of Cumberland and the Comox Valley Regional District to fill the vacancy. "This is certainly an exciting time to be a part of CVAC as we embark on our new five year strategic plan and work towards our ultimate goal of expanding air service delivery," said Minton. "We are all looking toward the future now with anticipation and will be seeking a new and qualified board member to assist us in our pursuits." The Comox Valley Airport Commission is the governing authority for the operation of the Comox Valley Airport. The nine-member Commission is broadly representative of the Comox Valley community and its members are nominated by the City of Courtenay, the Town of Comox, the Village of Cumberland, the Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD), the Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Comox Valley Economic Development Society (CVEDS). CVAC is a federally incorporated, non-profit entity. It was established through letters patent in 1996. Media Contact: Christianne Wile | |
