I can't find anything to indicate notability. Simply working in the oil industry, even in a good position, does not make someone notable. It's unclear what affiliation she actually has with Athabasca University, but even being the chair is not a notable position outside of the university.

Speedy Keep. Former Governing Council chair of Athabasca University. Me-123567-Me (talk) 12:25, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note that above claims an association with Athabasca University. There may be COI. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:44, 9 April 2012 (UTC).[reply]

Keep We certainly keep Presidents of colleges and universities, but we do not yet really have an established policy on members of the board of directors/governing boards/etc. By comparison with major companies, I'd certainly think the chairman of such a board notable. But in general, people are appointed to such boards because of their prominence otherwise, and would be notable in any case, and in her case a senior VP for technology of of a major technology based company is notable quite aprart from the chairmanship.

Comment I changed her status within Athabasca University from "current" to "former", the current directory doesn't show her, but the archive summary shows her a lot.--kelapstick^(bainuu) 22:06, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The only source cited gives but a passing reference. Former chair of governing council of a minor institution does not make WP:Prof#6 or any part of WP:Prof. Sources are negligible. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:44, 9 April 2012 (UTC).[reply]
Delete When I did a reference search, I found the single reference shown, but nothing substantial, other than a few quotes by her about the oil sands project.--kelapstick^(bainuu) 22:50, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. She was also named to the Order of Athabasca University [1], was president of Boeing Canada Operations [2]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.103.184.76 (talk) 15:27, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
