Equestrian Canada (EC) regrets to announce that Eva Havaris has resigned from her role as EC Chief Executive Officer, effective Sept. 28, 2017.

Following a long period of reflection and transitional discussions with the EC Board of Directors, Havaris made the decision to move on from EC, stating, “I joined EC readily accepting the challenge given to me by the EC Board of Directors to execute major organizational transformation at the governance and operational levels. There was never any doubt in my mind that there would be both exciting and difficult moments along the way. Creating change within an organization deeply rooted in history and tradition is never easy, but there was widespread recognition that changes had to be made. Each moment taught me so much and the experience has deepened my personal conviction and resolve to build a better and more integral Canadian sport system.”

“We have achieved a tremendous amount in the last three and a half years,” Havaris continued. “With the emergence of a new Board on the immediate horizon, it is an opportune time for me to move on to my next challenge and allow new leadership to put in place the actions and plans that were finalized over the last few months. The new Board has everything they need for the future of the organization and I will remain available to assist them during this period of transition.”
