The CEO and the Board's Role

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) reports directly to the Board, and has the responsibilities of carrying out the plans, policies and directives set by the Board.  Since the responsibility to manage the organization is delegated to the CEO, the Board has an important duty to ensure that the organization has effective executive management by:
• recruiting and hiring the CEO;
• setting expectations as defined in the employment contract and the annual goals and objectives of the organization; and
• evaluating the performance of the CEO. 

The CEO of the Mamawetan Churchill River Health Region is Andrew McLetchie.

Executive Pay-for-Performance 

The CEO is the only individual in the Mamawetan Churchill River Health Region whose compensation includes pay for performance.  To learn more about the Saskatchewan health system's Executive Pay-for-Performance Plan, click here.

For the 2011-12 fiscal year, the goals for Executive Pay-for-Performance were established by the Board members at the time, which included Ron Woytowich, Chair, Ron Pratt, Vice-Chair, Miles Bean, Lorraine Bear, Leon Charles, Al Rivard, Josie Searson, and Louise Wiens, in collaboration with the CEO at the time, Kathy Chisholm.  These included system-wide goals, as well as regional organizational goals.

Kathy Chisholm retired at the end of September, 2011 and Andrew McLetchie assumed the responsibilities of CEO at the beginning of October, 2011.

The evaluation of the achievement of the goals was completed by the current Board and CEO in June, 2012.  The same percentage pay-for-performance was allocated to each of the CEOs, with the payment calculated on the basis of six months of their respective salaries.
