CEO Commentary: New beginnings

CEO Commentary by Kelly Somerville

This fall is ushering in some big changes for me and LRIC alike. As I step into the role of CEO of this organization, I am invigorated by the tremendous work LRIC has undertaken and the excitement of projects to come.

In my previous position as Industry Services Manager, I had the opportunity to work closely with Mike McMorris, our outgoing CEO who has just retired, and am so humbled at the prospect of continuing the great work already underway. 

The coming months promise to be busy as LRIC prepares to host our International Research Advisory Committee for a two- day in person event September 25-26th. The role of this committee, which includes members from across Canada and internationally, is to bring international perspectives, ideas and practices to the Ontario livestock sector. At this upcoming meeting, the committee will work on developing a strategy for maximizing value from Ontario’s world class livestock research facilities.
