Marie Lemay became chief executive officer (CEO) of the National Capital Commission (NCC) in January 2008, the first to occupy this position since the role of chair and CEO was split into two positions. As CEO, Ms. Lemay is responsible for ensuring that the NCC fulfills its mandate. She also serves as the NCC's principal spokesperson, and is poised to lead the organization into a new era of effective community partnership within Canada's Capital.  Ms. Lemay is a professional engineer: she graduated from the University of Ottawa (1983), is a member of the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec (OIQ) and Professional Engineers Ontario, and a fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering. As an engineer, she served the City of Gatineau (1986 to 1995), first as a project manager involved in infrastructure and new city developments, and later as chief of the project development division. Ms. Lemay also worked for the Municipality of Chelsea (1995 to 2000), initially as director of technical services and subsequently as director general.   (More in the attachment.)
