Gorman's accomplishments include transforming the B.C. Public Service into a top employer, expanding the province's K-12 education brand into international markets, and managing complex labor relations files on behalf of the government.
"We are exceptionally pleased to have James joining us", said Nick Arkle, COFI board chair, "as his experience at the highest levels of the public service will be instrumental in helping us shape an exciting and productive future for our forest industry and the employees and communities that depend upon it."
