Dec 3, 2018 | 10:49 AM

Western Park has found its new CEO.

The board of directors announced Monday that Bradley Williams will take over the position on a permanent basis.

Williams, who has been serving as interim since September, helped lead the organization through its inaugural hosting of Canadian Finals Rodeo, and oversaw the quick transition of the exhibition hall for Agri-Trade.

“In his short time as Interim CEO, Bradley has demonstrated his ability to work well with staff, key partners, shareholders, customers and stakeholders to improve service and build relationships critical to the success of our organization,” says Damian Zapisocky, Westerner Park President and Board Chair.

“We believe his business experience plus knowledge and passion for both Westerner Park and our community makes Bradley the ideal person to bring stability and vision for the staff and Board at an exciting time for the organization.”

Williams says working with Westerner staff has been a privilege thus far.

“I look forward to guiding and leading the organization in this significant time of growth, as we bring on the new facility in February and offer it to the province and the world as an opportunity to come and do business in Red Deer,” he says. “I’m also grateful for the support of my wife Maureen, and family, in the decision to postpone my retirement,” he adds.

Williams previously served as president of the Red Deer and District Chamber of Commerce.

He takes over from Ben Antifaiff, who departed as CEO in September.
