WCB's new Board of Directors Chair, Saeed El-Darahali, was one of five people appointed to the Order of Nova Scotia yesterday by Lt.-Gov. Arthur J. LeBlanc, Chancellor of the Order of Nova Scotia.
"I am beyond humbled by this recognition," said Mr. El-Darahali. "I couldn't be more surprised and would like to thank everyone who has helped me to promote and strengthen this wonderful community and province."
"With a new strategic plan and a bright future of possibility for WCB Nova Scotia, what a fortunate time to have a leader like Mr. El-Darahali join us," said WCB Chief Executive Officer Stuart MacLean. "We look forward to benefitting from his visionary leadership and his dedication to making Nova Scotia a better place to live."
The Order of Nova Scotia is the highest honour in the Province of Nova Scotia, recognizing those who have distinguished themselves in many fields of endeavour and have made lasting contributions. In early 2022, an investiture ceremony will be held at Government House where the Lieutenant-Governor will present each of the new members with their insignia and appointment scroll.
