The Gaelic College is under new management these days.
On September 15th, former premier Mr. Rodney MacDonald began work in the role of CEO for the Gaelic College. In addition to a CEO, the Gaelic College has hired a second person to work toward the development of the Education & Programming division for the organization. Tracey Dares MacNeil has been hired as Director of Education and Programming for the Gaelic College and will work in conjunction with MacDonald to develop and implement the mission statement and mandate for the Gaelic College:
To promote, preserve and perpetuate through studies in all related areas - the culture, music, language, arts, crafts, customs and traditions of immigrants from the highlands of Scotland .
With this new organizational structure, the CEO will take on the overall responsibility of financial and general management for the Gaelic College. The Director of Education and Programming will work closely with the CEO in this regard but will be primarily responsible for the development of an education program for the Gaelic College where the focus will be very much related to the Gaelic language and the integration of the language in all programming offered through the college. The Summer School, the March Break workshops for children, Gaelic programming, former Registrar responsibilities and any other initiatives undertaken in regard to education or programming will be the responsibility of the Director of Education and Programming.
There have been many changes at the Gaelic College. In the ensuing weeks and months, both Rodney and Tracey look forward to working closely with staff and community to build and strengthen an organization whose potential for preservation and promotion of Nova Scotia Gaelic Culture is unlimited.
