Board of Directors Names New Chief Executive Officer: CSSEA

Following an extensive search led by a sub-committee of CSSEA‘s Board of Directors and subsequently endorsed by the entire Board, we are pleased to announce that Sandra Case has been appointed CSSEA‘s new Chief Executive Officer. Sandra served ten years as Director of Human Resources/Labour Relations at CSSEA before moving into senior appointments at Vancouver Fraser Port Authority and, most recently, Michael Smith Health Research BC.

“I am thrilled to welcome Sandra back into community social services,” says Ryan Cucheron, CSSEA‘s Board Chair. “The Board was impressed with her legal acumen, existing knowledge of the sector and successful track record of working with multiple stakeholders in various complex environments. We are optimistic Sandra’s skill set will allow her to lead the sector forward with professionalism and integrity.”

Sandra brings three decades of experience in leadership, HR/LR expertise, employer bargaining and strategic planning to this role. “I have been fortunate to work in various areas of human resources and labour relations, but there is nothing quite like returning to the sector, which made an indelible decade-long mark on my career,” says Sandra. “I look forward to working closely with the Board, government, staff and other partners to strengthen sectoral relations and support our members to continue carrying out their critical work of providing care for British Columbia’s most vulnerable.”

Sandra will assume her new role on June 10. Members will be kept apprised of opportunities to meet her as details become available later this summer.
