The Conference for Advanced Life Underwriting (CALU) has presented Gordon Thiessen with an award for outstanding public policy leadership in financial services.
At CALU's annual conference in Ottawa on May 4, the association gave former Bank of Canada governor Gordon Thiessen its inaugural CALU Award for Leadership in Public Policy (CALPP). Thiessen was the bank’s governor between 1994 to 2001, after which he served as chairman of the national auditor oversight agency, the Canadian Public Accountability Board, from 2002 to 2008.
“CALU members nominated several highly respected public policy leaders,” said CALU chairman Garry Zlotnik. “Our panel made an excellent choice in selecting Mr. Thiessen to receive the very first CALPP award. He is a tremendous example of a dedicated public servant who has demonstrated outstanding public policy leadership throughout his distinguished career.”
