Leadership Award
Rick ChesterFaculty, Natural Resources and Engineering, BCIT
Norm Shaw
former Instructor, BCIT
& Association of BC Forest Professionals
Norm Shaw and Rick Chester began work on a comprehensive database in 2005 of all forestry competency outcomes delivered by technical schools in BC. They had a vision to start this process at the Forestry Articulation meeting held at the Pallisades Centre in Jasper at what is now known as the Jasper Accord. Rick and Norm have probably spent thousands of hours, mostly volunteer building and refining this tool for use by forestry schools and the professional forestry group to assess programs and individual transfer (without funding and on their own initiative). They have truly demonstrated leadership in the area of transfer in BC and have created an important legacy.
