Laurier welcomes Paul Elliott as Board of Governors chair

Laurier welcomed a new chair of its Board of Governors on July 1, when Paul Elliott took over the position from outgoing chair Lynda Hawton Kitamura. Both are proud alumni of Laurier.

Elliott first joined Laurier’s Board of Governors last year. He has served as chair of the audit, risk and compliance committee during his time on the board, providing oversight to annual audited financial statements and monitoring risks to the institution’s financial sustainability. Elliott also served on the audit, risk and compliance committee prior to joining the Board of Governors.

Hawton Kitamura, who concluded a three-year term as chair, first joined the Board of Governors in November 2014 as a provincial government appointee. She is currently serving her third term on the board.
