The candidate comes from the technology sector having served as a senior executive and P&L leader for companies such as Gartner and other Fortune 500 companies. 

The benefits of participating as the industry supervisor and collaborator include:

•    Access to board-level, strategic governance intelligence and knowledge acquired throughout the industry-oriented PhD research program to inform and interactively engage to add value to you and your organization.

•    Raising your visibility internally with your executive, colleagues, and board of directors, as well as external stakeholders and peers.

•    Recognition, cachet, and credibility as an industry supervisor for one of the fastest-growing technology domains since the dawning of the age of technology. 

Requirements as the industry supervisor:

•    Support/approval from your organization.

•    Commitment to 2 to 4 hours per month of industry guidance (no reading required) for 2 years beginning in April/May 2024.

•    No formal education requirements per se, but deep industry expertise and experience are required.

This unique opportunity will be attractive to organizations that are committed to the values of education, research, and innovation.

To learn more, reply directly to this email message and we will set a short meeting to discuss in further detail. 

We will provide a discussion of requirements.

A winter treat from Canada ... 

It's a cold but sunny day here in Nova Scotia (CANADA). I made these fresh this morning for dinner later. They are my Nana's cinnamon rolls (recipe below).

Nana MacDougall’s Cinnamon Rolls

These are easy-to-make treats everyone will love. They were a favorite after-school treat on cold days during the cold Canadian winter.

INGREDIENTS

Filling:

½ cup softened butter

1 cup dark brown sugar

4 tsp cinnamon (I use more)

Biscuit:

2 cups white unbleached flour

2 tbsp white sugar

4 tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

½ cup shortening

¾ cup milk

Method:

Prepare the filling by mixing the ingredients together into a paste (set aside)

Combine the flour mixture with dry ingredients

Add the shortening and mix 

Add the milk

Once combined, turn the batter onto a pastry board and roll out into a rectangular shape to desired thickness. Spread the filling onto the batter. Roll the pastry into a log and cut the log into discs and place into a well-greased muffin pan.

Bake at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes. 

Enjoy. They won’t last.
