Southeast College's Board of Govenor's would like to welcome Jody Holzmiller to the role of permanent President/CEO. Holzmiller has been in the Interim role since July of 2024, and will officially be the College's permanent President/CEO on May 1, 2025.
Holzmiller has been at Southeast College since December of 2005. With almost 20 years in the Saskatchewan College system, Holzmiller brings with her to the President/CEO role a wealth of knowledge, experience, and relationships. She has performed a variety of roles at Southeast, the most recent being the Vice President of Professional Training and Continuing Studies. John Williams, Board Chair at Southeast says, "The stability, experience and sector knowledge Jody brings to the role of President/CEO is invaluable. Over the past eight months, the Board has witnessed Jody's commitment to fostering a climate of trust, transparency, and accessibility."
As part of her role, Holzmiller will network with First Nations, business leaders, communities, post-secondary institutions, other Saskatchewan colleges, international partners, and government officials at all levels to strengthen the College's position in the region and province. These partnerships will enable students to "learn where they live" by providing accessible and affordable post-secondary education in rural areas and on all First Nations in the college region. "Jody is eager to position Southeast College to play a pivotal role in the challenges our communities are facing. Forging strong relationships and fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration will be key elements in doing so," says Board Chair John Williams.
Holzmiller comes to the role with a Master of Educational Administration (University of Regina) as well as a Master of Arts in Leadership and Training (Royal Roads University). Jody started her role at Southeast in 2005 as the Executive Assistant to the President/CEO and Board of Governors. With her education and experience, she quickly moved through the ranks to a Vice President role and will now lead the institution.
"The Board is excited to work with Jody and we will support her efforts in moving the college forward during her term," says Williams.
Southeast College would like to extend its sincere appreciation to the Ministry of Advanced Education for their guidance and expertise throughout the CEO recruitment process.
Southeast College is proud to offer innovative and flexible programming that encourages students to learn where they live.
