Mary Ellen Walling announced this week she will be “moving on” from her position as executive director of the British Columbia Salmon Farmers Association (BCFSA), effective 31 December.
Walling joined the association in 2002.
“As executive director, one of the personal highlights that I am proud of is the development of certification programs and subsequent adoption of these,” said Walling. “This year the BCFSA board has approved a five year strategic plan. It will position the industry well for the future and makes an excellent timing for the end of my term.
“In my near future, there are new opportunities which will once again provide the kind of challenge that I enjoy.”
Walling did not give a reason for her departure and BCFSA said it will not comment further on the matter beyond Walling’s statement.
