The AMS will be getting a new General Manager.
Lyndon Smith has been hired as the new permanent General Manager of the AMS, succeeding Lyn Parry, who has held the position since 2015 and is now retiring. Prior to becoming General Manager, Parry served as the AMS Controller from 2011 until transitioning into her managerial role.
The General Manager is one of the 16 permanent positions at the AMS, serving as a non-voting member of the AMS Board of Directors, which provides strategic guidance, financial accountability, and human resources support for the AMS. Come April 30, Smith will support the incoming
executive team in managing the AMS’s financial and operational affairs.
In a statement to The Journal, Smith expressed enthusiasm for his new role and highlighted his connection to Queen’s and the AMS.
“I have family and friends who have attended Queen’s, and they have been positively impacted by the experience of being part of the Queen’s undergraduate community,” Smith said. “The Society has a rich history of advocating for students as well as providing learning and work experiences for students who are part of the AMS team.”
Smith looks forward to collaborating with and supporting the AMS as they continue providing essential services to students and enhance campus life.
AMS President Owen Rocchi praised Parry’s contributions and welcomed Smith to the team. Rocchi shared Smith’s training and transition into the role has already begun.
“I can speak for the AMS in that we couldn’t be more excited to welcome the new General Manager to the team,” Rocchi said.
Rocchi thanked Parry for her continued commitment to the organization, and all the hard work she’s put into the Society during her tenure.
