Dr. Tennant has spent the last dozen years with the Alberta Science and
Research Authority (ASRA) taking care of Alberta’s interests. He is a
long-serving member on the ASRA board, testimony to the high value
government and his colleagues place on his contributions.
His
depth of understanding of macroeconomics, combined with his extensive
provincial, national and international experience has been instrumental
in creating important public policy initiatives. And those initiatives
have increased funding for science and technology projects and improved
commercialization prospects for Alberta’s technology sector.
“In
my policy work, I try to focus on the future of research and
technology,” he says. “We are nothing in the world unless we produce
highly qualified people.”
