The Bluewater District School board has a new treasurer.
The school board has announced that Andrew Low is the new superintendent of business services and treasurer. The appointment was made official in a news release on Jan. 15.
Low has served with the school board for the past five and a half years, most recently as manager of financial services.
His previous experience extends to the municipal and private sectors, including roles in public accounting and as a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA). Since graduating from the University of Western Ontario with a bachelor’s degree majoring in economics, he has maintained a solid track record of financial management and accountability in his various positions.
An Owen Sound resident with his wife and two sons, Low enjoys spending time with his family, and is often found on the sidelines coaching and/or supporting both boys in hockey, soccer, and lacrosse.
The appointment of Low follows the recent departure of Rob Cummings from the position.
“I look forward to offering my skills in this new capacity and working with our trustees, partners, senior team, and department and school staff to build upon our business successes and efforts for the benefit of the students of Bluewater,” said Low.
Lori Wilder, director of education, welcomed Low to the position and wished Cummings the best in his future endeavours.
“I am thrilled to welcome Andrew to our senior team as superintendent of business services and treasurer. Andrew has been a tremendous asset over the past several years with our budget planning, reporting, and other key finance functions. His skills and experience will continue to lead us along a positive path of responsible fiscal management and resource stewardship,” said Wilder. “I would also like to thank and recognize Rob Cummings for his years of dedicated service and many contributions. Rob will be missed, and we wish him every success in his next life chapter.”
