Leadership Update at Engineers Without Borders Canada
To our EWB partners, donors, volunteers, and community:
For more than two decades, Engineers Without Borders Canada has empowered leaders, fostered innovation, and supported systemic change to build a more equitable and sustainable world. From equipping local innovators in sub-Saharan Africa to advancing responsible engineering practices in Canada, our shared commitment has enabled remarkable progress and transformative impact.
EWB Canada is now embarking on a new chapter in our storied history of impact and systemic change. The Board of Directors has launched a recruitment process to identify and select a new CEO for Engineers Without Borders Canada.
We are excited to move forward under new leadership and progress the execution of our strategic plan centered on engineering an equitable and sustainable future for marginalized people and the planet. Amidst this transition, we remain committed to our mission to create systemic change, mobilize the engineering community, and leverage technological innovation to address global challenges.
To ensure stability during the recruitment process, our Board Chair, David Boroto, has stepped down from the Board and assumed the role of Interim CEO at the Board’s request while the Board conducts a broad and comprehensive search for our next leader over the next 2-3 months. As a long-time EWBer, and former chapter member, fellow, and Board Director, David is committed to stewarding this organization that we all care deeply for through this transition.
The Board is committed to facilitating a smooth transition to maintain EWB’s momentum and continue to deliver the meaningful impact that our organization strives for. Our team remains dedicated to maintaining our core values and our mission to engineer an equitable and sustainable future through systemic change.
We are deeply grateful for your ongoing support, which enables us to continue making a difference in the lives of the communities we serve. Thank you for being a trusted supporter and a valued part of our community.
If you would like to support the Board’s search or recommend a candidate for the CEO position, please contact our recruitment committee at ceorecruitment@ewb.ca. The deadline for applications is February 16th, 2025.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at larasergovich@ewb.ca or David at davidboroto@ewb.ca.
