NorQuest welcomes new interim President and CEO

“Joan’s experience, strong strategic thinking, and love of NorQuest make her an ideal person to step in and provide the necessary leadership while we search for NorQuest’s next President and CEO,” says Carla Madra, Acting Board Chair.

Hertz previously served as Vice President, External Affairs and Corporate Counsel for NorQuest College from 2015-18 and contributed to the college’s remarkable growth.

“I am honoured to have been asked by the college’s Board of Governors to come back on an interim basis to serve as President. NorQuest is an amazing organization that has tremendous impact in the lives of our students and in our community,” says Hertz.
