Dr. Glenn Feltham has been selected as the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology’s (NAIT) sixth president and CEO. He was appointed at the Board of Governors meeting held on December 6, 2010, following an extensive six-month international search.
Dr. Feltham will officially commence in his new role on March 1, 2011. During the interim, David Janzen will continue to serve as the acting president and CEO.
Dr. Feltham, who was raised in Alberta, joins NAIT after six years as Dean of the I.H.
