In her new role, she is working closely with secretary-treasurer Doug- las Aird, providing financial oversight and strategic support for the Division, says a Northland news release dated March 12.
Gach brings more than 10 years of experience in financial management and accounting.
Most recently, she served as a senior financial analyst at Mercer Peace River Pulp Ltd., where she was responsible for budgeting, financial reporting and supporting senior leadership.
