Freedman returns 

Lawyer Bram Freedman has been appointed Vice-President External Relations and Secretary-General of Concordia University, effective Feb. 4. This represents something of a homecoming for Freedman, who worked at Concordia for 11 years as Assistant Legal Counsel, then as Assistant Secretary-General and General Counsel.

He left Concordia four and a half years ago to become Chief Operating Officer and Director of External Relations at Federation CJA, the central fundraising and community service organization for the Jewish community of Quebec.

As VP External Relations and Secretary-General, Freedman will report to the President and be a member of the senior management team. He will be responsible for overall university governance, the management of its legal affairs and effective government and external relations. His sector will include the Office of the Board of Governors and Senate, Legal Affairs, the Government Relations and Public Affairs Department, the University Archives and Translation Services.

Welcome back, Bram.
