Happy 2025 everyone,I hope folks had a nice break and/or some quieter work time to over the holiday period. I’m writing with a staffing update and congratulations. Prior to the holiday break Steve Chapman was successful on a two-year TA in an Executive Director role with Social Development and Poverty Reduction. Steve will be working in their information management division as lead for Procurement and Negotiations. It’s a great opportunity to advance procurement and vendor relationship for a vital sector in alignment with our Digital Plan and Digital Code of Practice. While losing Steve will be a big loss for DTC and DO, I am always happy to see our team grow and stretch their wings to new challenges and adventures. I am thankful for Steve’s contributions to our leadership team, the team’s he supported, and to DTC at large. He brought the marketplace to another level of customer use, helped advance our strategic planning and branch rigor, and cared for all members of his team along the way. Steve’s last day will be this Friday, January 10th. Please join me in congratulating Steve! At our branch meeting next week I’ll follow up on next steps for backfilling the role. |
