A shuffling of chairs during the Annual General Meeting at Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre (RVH) sees former vice chairperson Jason Teal named chairperson as of June 4.
"I'm honoured to be Board Chair and so excited about this next chapter," said Teal. "I originally joined the RVH Board of Directors because I was eager for the opportunity to give back to my community."
Teal is vice president of Business Banking at Meridian Credit Union, where he leads a team of Small Business and Commercial Banking professionals across the province. He has served on RVH's Board of Directors since 2017, most recently as vice chairperson.
"I'm especially proud to be involved with RVH, an organization with an extraordinary legacy that continues to touch the lives of all families in the region. I wanted to challenge myself and to bring my leadership and other board experience to RVH to contribute to this remarkable team."
