The Invasive Species Council of BC (ISCBC) is announcing a planned leadership transition for 2027.
After more than 20 years of dedicated service to ISCBC, Executive Director Gail Wallin has shared her intention to step down from the role in 2027. Gail has agreed to continue contributing to ISCBC as a Strategic Advisor, supporting the organization through the transition and into its next leadership phase.
The ISCBC Board of Directors has approved a comprehensive recruitment and succession plan to ensure continuity throughout the transition. ISCBC’s programs, services and projects will continue uninterrupted, supported by the organization’s experienced leadership team.
“Gail’s vision, leadership, and unwavering dedication have been instrumental in building ISCBC into the highly respected organization it is today,” said Steve Thomson, ISCBC’s Board Chair. “We are deeply grateful for her extraordinary contributions and for her commitment to supporting a smooth and successful transition.”
The Board has begun the process of recruiting a new Executive Director. The position will be posted publicly from November 9 to December 4, 2026.

This transition reflects thoughtful planning and a strong foundation for ISCBC’s future. With an experienced team and a clear transition process, ISCBC is well-positioned to continue advancing invasive species prevention and management across British Columbia.
The Board sincerely thanks Gail for more than two decades of service, leadership and vision, and looks forward to celebrating her extraordinary contributions while welcoming ISCBC’s next Executive Director.
