We are pleased to announce the outcome of the board elections that were held last month; Dr. Pooneh Maghoul and Dr. Hânieh M. Provencher, both from Polytechnique Montréal, will be joining the board of directors of The Mars Society of Canada. Hânieh and Pooneh are bringing us a wealth of expertise, talent and enthusiasm to our team that will be very much appreciated as we embark on a number of exciting projects over the next two years.
The MSC Board of Directors is now comprised of the following people:
- Amanda Spilkin
- Rym Chaïd
- Susan Holden Martin
- Dr. Pooneh Maghoul
- Dr. Hânieh M. Provencher
- Glenn Scott
It is with sadness that we also have to announce the departure of Jin Sing Sia from our Board. Over the last three years, Jin has been instrumental in the development of various projects and activities that have helped to shape us as an organization. His influence will likely be felt for years to come, and we all look forward to learning about his future journeys.
Earlier in the year, Rex Bennett Plant also left our Board. Rex was is a co-founder of the MSC and has provided valuable advice and important financial contributions since 2019.
We will miss both Jin and Rex, but are very fortunate to welcome Hânieh and Pooneh!
