Alumnus Steve Orsini (MES \u201986) was appointed by Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne to head the Ontario Public Service as secretary of the cabinet and clerk of the executive council.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn behalf of his alma mater, I would like to congratulate Steve Orsini on this distinguished appointment,\u201d Mamdouh Shoukri, York\u2019s president and vice-chancellor, shared. \u201cWe at York take great pride in Steve\u2019s record of public service and ongoing accomplishments. His work in the Ministry of Finance, where he served alongside Chancellor Greg Sorbara, and his prior experience in other areas of public policy, will be of tremendous benefit to the province as he exercises leadership from the Office of Secretary of the Cabinet. We look forward to working with him in his new role.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a relative newcomer, Orsini\u2019s experience with public service is impressive. Since December 2011, he has served as the deputy minister of finance and secretary of the Treasury Board, where he has played a leading role in supporting the government\u2019s tax, benefits and pension reform agenda over the past few years. Prior to that, he served as deputy minister of revenue and deputy minister of taxation, agencies and pensions in the Ministry of Finance.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Orsini has also worked in the former Ministry of Treasury and Economics, the Service Sector Secretariat, the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade and the Ontario Development Corporation.\u00a0 He has even held several positions at the Ontario Hospital Association, including vice-president of policy and public affairs.<\/p>\n<p>Orsini graduated with a master in environmental studies (MES) in economic development from York\u2019s Faculty of Environmental Studies in 1986. He has also completed the Canadian Securities Course, two years of the CICA In-Depth Tax Course and the Harvard University Health Care Leadership Program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With a strong reputation in social and political justice, York University has seen many of its grads find success in a wide range of public service roles.
