Ken has chaired the Finance & Audit Committee and served as Vice Chair where he took a leadership role in putting together a new strategic plan for QCH.

He previously served as President of The College of Kinesiologists as an Order in Council (public member) appointed by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC).
