BC Hydro executive vice-president Susan Yurkovich will become the new president and chief executive officer of the Council of Forest Industries on September 14, the agency announced Tuesday.
Yurkovich, who leaves Hydro at the end of this week, will replace James Gorman, who is taking a new position as vice-president of Vancouver-based wood products company West Fraser.
Gorman joined COFI in September 2013 after previously serving as the BC’s deputy minister of advanced education.
