With a mix of sadness and celebration, today, we're announcing the official retirement of Patrick Pitka as Genome Prairie's CFO. Pat joined us in 2006 - his leadership was invaluable in our success. Here's Pat (middle) with Genome Prairie's Chair Dr. Peter Phillips (left) and Mike Cey, Genome Prairie President and CEO, celebrating Pat's long-time tenure as CFO. As a token of our appreciation for his 19 years of service, Pat was presented by Peter and Mike with a signed work by esteemed Saskatchewan artist Glen Scrimshaw (titled "The Prairie Lilly.")
