University VP Administration Departs From McMaster
It is with regret that I let you know that Karen Belaire, Vice-President, Administration, will be leaving McMaster. Karen has accepted a wonderful opportunity in the shared role of Chief Operating Officer, Clinical Services for London Health Sciences Centre and Chief Operating Officer, Clinical Services for St. Joseph's Health Care, London.
Karen joined McMaster in 2000 and since that time has been a driving force in McMaster’s success. Her commitment to excellence, financial and administrative leadership, and belief in McMaster’s vision and goals have put the University in an enviable position.
We will miss her many contributions and wish her every success as she returns to her roots in health care.
We are developing a plan to ensure a smooth transition to prepare for Karen’s departure in the middle of August and will share the details with you as soon as they are finalized.
I wanted to make sure that you received advanced notice of Karen’s departure and have attached a copy of the Daily News story that will be posted on the web site early this afternoon.
Yours sincerely,
Peter George
