Canola Council of Canada looks for new CEO

The search is on for the next president and CEO of the Canola Council of Canada.

Jim Everson announced his plans to leave the organization earlier this month, agreeing to stay in the role until a replacement is found.

Board chair Jennifer Marchand says Jim played a key role in reforming the Canola Council's financial governance, opening new market pathways and
leading the value chain through challenging market access issues.

Everson was named president of the CCC in April of 2017,  having previously served in the role of vice president and government relations from 2008 to 2015.

You don't need to grow up on a farm to build a career in Canadian agriculture. Robyn grew up in Richmond, Ontario - not on a farm, but in a community shaped by them.

Now she works at the intersection of policy, innovation, and the people who grow our food. Her drive? Making sure the right people understand what Canadian agriculture needs to thrive.

Her message to the next generation: "Agriculture today is full of possibilities - science, technology, business, communications, and policy. You're helping grow the food we eat, and it's hard to think of many things more impactful than that."
