NBMCA is pleased to announce the appointment of Carolyn J. Rodgers as its new Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), Secretary-Treasurer beginning April 28. With a distinguished career in public service and environmental management, Rodgers brings a wealth of experience and a strong commitment to sustainable conservation practices and a community focused approach.
“We are excited to welcome Carolyn to the NBMCA team,” said Michelle Lahaye, Chair of the NBMCA Board of Directors. “Her extensive leadership experience, strategic vision, and dedication to environmental stewardship will be invaluable as we continue to conserve and enhance our watershed's natural resources.”
Rodgers previously served as the General Manager, Watershed Restoration Services for the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority where she spearheaded the development of the implementation guidelines for several key policies, including the Lake Simcoe Phosphorus Offsetting, Water Balance Offsetting and Ecological Offsetting initiatives. Her expertise in policy development, stakeholder collaboration, and organizational growth will play a vital role in advancing NBMCA’s mission.
“I am honoured to join the North Bay Mattawa Conservation Authority and excited to collaborate with the team, our municipal partners, and the community to promote sustainable practices and conserve and restore the watershed’s natural resources,” said Rodgers. “I look forward to building on the organization’s strong foundation and continuing to drive meaningful environmental outcomes.”
In her new role, Rodgers will oversee NBMCA’S programs and services while ensuring the Authority continues to meet its mandate of undertaking watershed-based programs to protect people and property from flooding and other natural hazards, and to conserve natural resources for economic, social, and environmental benefits.
