New NPC chair highly regarded

From the Niagara Falls Review:

The Niagara Parks Commission is getting an effective leader who’s the right person for the times in Fay Booker, even though she’s not a Niagara resident, according to people in Niagara who have had professional contact with the incoming chairwoman.

“She was very effective, very organized,” said Janie Palmer, chairwoman of Niagara Peninsula Energy. The city’s electricity distributor hired Booker, a Burlington management consultant, in 2008 just after the company was created through a merger of Niagara Falls Hydro and Pen West Energy.

Booker runs her own consulting company that helps corporations with issues about how they govern themselves.

“I know that we were all very impressed with her skills and knowledge and we did implement her recommendations,” Palmer said.
