OCUA Board of Directors - Organizational Announcement

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to announce the departure of Marci Morris from her role as Executive Director of the Association.

It is with regret that the Board of Directors announces that it has accepted the resignation of Marci Morris from her position as Executive Director of the Association. Marci has decided to focus on family and personal goals at this point in her career and while we are saddened to see her go, Marci goes with the best wishes from the Board and Staff.

Marci has held the position of Executive Director since Feb 2008. During her time as Executive Director, she has made a major contribution to our organization's success and has been an instrumental force in the modernization of OCUA's operations. Her energy, commitment and professionalism have enhanced league operations, helped set the organization on a stable financial footing and advanced a number of OCUA's strategic objectives.

Marci has set the performance bar very high. At the local level, her accomplishments are far too numerous to list here. They go beyond the day-to-day running of operations and include establishing positive relationships with City officials and other partners. At the national and provincial levels, she made a positive impact by establishing strong ties with the governing bodies of Ultimate who now hold the name of OCUA in high regard.

The Board is aware that this was a difficult decision for Marci to make and not one taken lightly. We are extremely satisfied with her performance and accomplishments in her tenure and would like to let Marci know that we have enjoyed her friendship and are very grateful for her service and leadership over the past four years. We wish her and her family all the best for the future.

Marci's departure date will be at the end of June 2012. The Board has initiated a process to search for Marci's replacement, striking an Executive Director Search Committee. The position posting and application process milestones will be released within a week.

Please join me in wishing Marci tremendous success in her future endeavours.
