TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA, March 3, 2015 -- Today, the Water Technology Acceleration Project (WaterTAP) announced that it will begin a formal search for a new chief executive officer (CEO) this month.
WaterTAP's board of directors will establish a search committee and announce its next steps in the coming weeks. In addition to guiding the organization's team, the new CEO will oversee activities that contribute to its mandate: strengthening Ontario's water technology sector.
"The person selected for this role will be responsible for building upon WaterTAP's success, as well as enhancing and implementing the organization's strategic plan to achieve our next stage of growth," said Kenneth A. Morrison, WaterTAP chair.
