Statement of Interest
ACCLAIMED
I am writing to express my interest in joining the SOAR Board of Directors. I am
currently the Chair and Chief Executive Officer of the Workplace Safety and
Insurance Appeals Tribunal (WSIAT), and I have served in that capacity since
August 2019. I have been reappointed for a three-year term, effective January 9,
2022. Prior to my current appointment, I served as a Vice-Chair at the WSIAT,
both in full-time and part-time capacities, for approximately 19 years. The WSIAT has long been supportive of SOAR’s mission to provide leadership,
education, innovation, and information to the administrative justice community, as
well as SOAR’s non-partisan approach to focusing on the public interest. I have
been involved in SOAR’s educational programs over the years, including acting
as a facilitator at the Adjudicator Training Course and participating in the
organizing committee for the Front Line Adjudicator Training Course. I consider it a privilege to serve in the administrative justice sector, which has a
widespread impact on the lives of citizens. SOAR plays a key role in promoting
excellence in adjudication in this important field and I would appreciate the
opportunity to support SOAR’s work as a member of the Board of Directors.
