2024 Wrap up and President’s Report

As the year comes to a close, it’s a perfect time to pause and reflect on the many events for our Chapter in 2024. Let’s take a stroll down memory lane and revisit some of the standout events that have defined this past year.

The Education Committee was busy again, offering educational events throughout the year, starting in January with one of the Ontario Education Committee’s Directors Courses. They also held two Leaders Circle events during the summer and ended the year with a bang with the ever-popular legal panel in December.

We also had a few fun and entertaining Professional and Business Partners events in 2024, starting with a pub night in February, a bowling event in April, and ending with the casino night/AGM in September.

The Chapter held its annual golf tournament in June with terrific weather, great networking opportunities, and some shots on the course (for some of us that might have been golf shots and others adult beverages).

In October the Chapter held its annual conference and tradeshow with our highest attendance yet! We continue to be amazed by the overwhelming support of our members and industry leaders.

We had some changes on the Chapter’s Board of Directors this year. The last of the directors involved in the creation of our Chapter left our Board as their terms expired. Christine Merswolke, Brad Wells, David Outa, and Kathleen Schrumm left the Board this year. We thank them for their years of hard work and dedication on behalf of the Chapter. We welcomed Laurie Reed and Jay Sandhu to the Board, as well as two new condominium owners/directors – Dushan Divjak and Rod Landgraff. I moved into the role of Past President and turned over the presidency to Stefan Nespoli. 

As we approach 2025, it’s vital to carry the lessons learned from this year into the future. Let’s continue supporting one another and the Chapter, advocating for positive change, and celebrating every step of our journeys. Whether through personal achievements or collective efforts, together we can make a difference in the condominium industry. Thank you for joining us on this reflective journey through 2024. Here’s to embracing new adventures, growth, and connections in the year ahead. Cheers to a fantastic new year!
