The President of St. Lawrence College has been named Chair of the Ontario Regional Economic & Workforce Innovation Network.
Glenn Vollebregt took over from outgoing chair George Burton on Feb 2. Burton was the former president and CEO of Canadore College in North Bay and was the first chair at OREWIN.
