He served five three-year terms on the Concordia Board and chaired or served on countless committees, including the Collective Bargaining Committee, the Audit Committee, the Finance Committee (now called Budget Committee), the Pension Committee and the Employee Benefits Committee. A Governor Emeritus, he received an honorary doctorate from Concordia in 2003.
