Welcome Paul!
On behalf of myself, and the Board of Directors, we would like to officially welcome Paul Osland, who started this week as Athletics Ontario’s Chief Executive Officer. We are very excited to have such a highly regarded member of the athletics community joining our organization.
As previously mentioned, Paul brings extensive business development and corporate experience combined with his entrepreneurial venture capital experience, which will enable him to help drive the continued development and promotion of the sport of athletics in Ontario. In addition, he has 25 plus years of progressively responsible leadership roles in both the business world and athletics community. He will be responsible for leading AO’s success in fulfilling the vision, mission, and strategic priorities to ensure that AO remains on track in becoming a national leader in the athletics community.
