“I would like to send my sincere gratitude to Dr. Glenn Feltham for his leadership and dedication in establishing the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) as one of the world’s leading polytechnic schools.
“Dr. Feltham became NAIT’s sixth president and CEO in 2011. Under Dr. Feltham’s stewardship, NAIT has become an essential figurehead in strengthening Alberta and Canada’s economies through hands-on technology-based education and applied research in partnership with industry.
“Beyond his role as president and CEO of NAIT, Dr. Feltham has played a leading role in advancing the post-secondary system in Canada and Alberta. He was chair of Polytechnics Canada, a national organization which works to elevate the place of polytechnic education and applied research in Canada, and advance our country’s skills agenda. He also chaired the Council of Post-Secondary Presidents of Alberta (COPPOA). COPPOA works across all of Alberta’s post-secondary institutions to continue building the strongest possible system.
“Dr. Feltham’s dedication and passion to NAIT and its students will be missed. We will continue to learn from his unwavering leadership and I wish him all the best in his future endeavours.”
