OMNI’s CFO retires after 20 years of service
Working as an accountant for a long-term care operator can be complicated. There is a complex administrative structure to work through when it comes to reporting to the ministry and controlling budgets, but Glen Boyd always made it look easy, say his colleagues.
Boyd recently retired as OMNI Health Care’s chief financial officer after nearly 20 years with the organization. OMNI president and CEO Patrick McCarthy worked with him in Owen Sound for another long-term care operator in the early 1990s and notes Boyd is as good as they come at his profession.
“Glen has a lot of experience in the long-term care sector. The pressure on the accounting department is often underestimated and Glen brought a lot of knowledge to that area and really helped us move ahead,” McCarthy says, adding Boyd’s strengths extended beyond working with numbers. “Glen has always demonstrated a lot of caring for both the residents and staff and has always been looking out for them.”
Pleasant Meadow Manor office manager Sylvia Sanders worked with Boyd for many years. Sanders says Boyd’s knowledge was often called upon by office managers at OMNI’s 18 long-term care homes and he was always there to help meet any challenge that arose.
“He has been one of the greatest guys to work with,” Sanders says. “Glen is always there for you if you need him, he always has an answer for you, and he always has your back. I don’t know what more I can say, except that he is going to be greatly missed. He has always been a go-to guy for us office managers.”
Boyd’s career at OMNI began in September 1996. While he looks forward to spending time with his family and travelling in his retirement, he says there are many things he will miss about his time at OMNI, particularly the people.
“There has always been a very friendly family culture here,” he says. “Accounting has been good to me and people here have always been great to work with.”
To celebrate Boyd’s career, OMNI hosted a party for him at the Peterborough Lawn Bowling Club on July 14. The event was attended by OMNI team members throughout the organization.
