THUNDER BAY — EcoSuperior has announced a change in its leadership structure and the appointment of two people to manage the operations of the non-profit environmental organization.
Erin Moir and Ashley Priem will serve as co-executive directors of the Thunder Bay-based group that provides education and resources to the public to promote environmental stewardship.
They take over from Sue Hamel, who's leaving to pursue a new opportunity in the conservation field after serving as executive director for a little over three years.
Both Moir and Priem have served in management roles with EcoSuperior, and together they have over 20 years of experience with the organization.
"We are privileged to take on this new leadership role and model. We feel leadership is stronger in partnerships," Moir said in a statement Tuesday.
Priem added that the pair already has extensive experience working well together over a period of many years.
Although co-leadership is new to EcoSuperior, it's been used successfully by other non-profit organizations, including 87 public companies recently analyzed by Harvard Business Review.
Speaking for the EcoSuperior board of directors, Sara Chow thanked Hamel for her service, saying the organization has seen many positive changes during her tenure.
"We know that we will continue to see positive progress with Erin and Ashley leading together. They are well-known in our community, and have many years of experience in implementing successful programs," Chow said.
