Four new members have been elected to the Condominium Authority of Ontario’s (CAO) board of directors, filling spots that were vacant since spring.
In April, the CAO’s Chair suggested that one of the board’s elected members step down due to conflict of interest and governance concerns. What followed was four members resigning from their elected terms.
The CAO Board retained quorum and continued to govern and guide the organization under Board Chair Heather Zordel , Board Director Judy Sue as Treasurer and Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee, and Board Director Margaret Samuel as Corporate Secretary.
New members include:
- Mary Throop (elected: one-year term to September 2021). She is a condominium owner and founder of Summerhill Capital. She is a former senior partner at Laketon Investment Management and a member of the Global Equities Team;
- Larry Banack (elected: two-year term to September 2022). He is a condominium owner and an active member of the Law Society Hearing and Appeal Panels, which decides allegations of lawyers’ and paralegals’ professional misconduct;
- Allison Scanlan (elected: two-year term to September 2022). She is a condominium owner, and former condo board director, with a 25-year professional career in purchasing and supply chain for a Fortune-100 global manufacturer; and
- Erik Levinson (elected: three-year term to September 2023). He is a condominium owner and chief technology officer with extensive experience building, leading, and advising early and growth–stage software companies, most recently focusing on payments and financial technology.
