He currently serves as Archdeacon of Brandon Archdeaconry (South) and provides leadership to both a Lutheran–Anglican parish in Brandon and a United–Anglican shared ministry in Souris. Throughout his ministry, he has demonstrated a gift for building relationships, guiding congregations through periods of transition, and helping communities discover new opportunities for mission, discipleship, and growth.
Dr. Charles Randell – Biography
Charles Randell brings extensive executive and governance experience to the Board. A retired engineer and former President and CEO of C-CORE, one of Canada’s leading research and development organizations, Dr. Randell spent his career leading innovation, building partnerships, and overseeing complex organizations.
