Vernon Cameron elected as Chair of 91ÇÑ×Ó Board of Governors

(June 12, 2023) - 91ÇÑ×Ó is pleased to announce the appointment of Vernon Cameron as the incoming Chair of the Board of Governors, effective July 1st, 2023. Cameron's extensive leadership experience and commitment to higher education make him an exceptional choice to lead the Board during this transformative period.

¡°I am looking forward to continuing to provide leadership through collaboration, transparency, and respect. As a proud alumnus of 91ÇÑ×Ó and the Faculty of Management, I am honoured to serve as Chair,¡± said Cameron.

Cameron joined the Board in April of 2022 and is an accomplished executive, having spent the last 19 years in the U.S. in the public and private sectors. Cameron spent 12 years leading Private Equity companies in President and Chief Executive Officer roles.
