Sources: RHA CEO Olson to retire
3/9/2010 at 1:30 PM
I've received information this afternoon from sources close to the RHA that indicate that CEO Carmel Olson will be retiring in December of this year.. eight years after taking over the position from Earl Backman.
Olson has been one of Westman's most prominent women in business/public life.
If true, best of luck to her in retirement and a big thank you for her contributions to health care in Brandon and Western Manitoba!
The search for a replacement will apparently begin as soon as possible
As an aside, here's an interview from the Westman (then Wheat City) Journal from fall of last year:

As of now, the RHA itself has yet to officially confirm
