The incoming chair of Okanagan College’s board of governors – a familiar name, a familiar face.

Connie Denesiuk, of Summerland, will assume the role in the new year following Tom Styffe, who finishes six years of service on the board, three as chairman.

Denesiuk joined the board in 2012.

She and her husband Bob have been partners in a Summerland-based construction business for the past 30 years.

“Connie’s extensive experience in leading boards and working at the provincial and federal level on behalf of education will serve Okanagan College and the post-secondary sector well,” notes Styffe. “I wrap up my tenure knowing that the board has strong leadership and a tremendous membership.”
