SHDM board of directors has a new president and welcomes two new members
The Ville de Montréal and Société d’habitation et de développement de Montréal (SHDM) would like to congratulate Johanne Brunet on her appointment as president of the SHDM board of directors and welcome Julie Chaurette and Linton S. Garner, who join the board as directors. The appointments were made by the Ville de Montréal at the June 10 executive committee meeting and take effect immediately.
Russell Copeman, the executive committee member in charge of housing, urban planning, buildings, real estate transactions and strategies, and the Office de Consultation Publique, said, “Johanne Brunet is a well-known, professional manager and has served as an administrator of SHDM since 2008 and as vice president of the board since 2013. She was the natural choice to lead SHDM and continue implementing its strategic plan. SHDM has demonstrated its ability to establish a governance structure that is tailored to today’s reality, and I am confident that Ms. Brunet will guide the organization to a new stage in its development and help it complete numerous projects that are on the table.” Highlighting the contribution of the outgoing president, Mr. Copeman said, “I would also like to thank Jean-Claude Cyr, who served as president of the SHDM board of directors for three terms, for his commitment and dedication during his seven-year tenure at the head of the board.”
Johanne Brunet said, “It is a great privilege for me to be appointed president of the SHDM board of directors and to add my name to the too-short list of women who reach this level of responsibility. Over the past seven years, I have seen the organization come into its own in terms of managing and overseeing its activities. I am taking over as president of the board at a time when the organization’s strategic development is at an exciting turning point.”
In keeping with SHDM’s para-municipal status, the Ville de Montréal is in charge of appointing its directors, who are chosen to represent a variety of skills needed to guide the organization in its strategic decisions and ensure sound governance. Together, the SHDM’s directors possess remarkable expertise in management, real estate, community and large-scale project development, housing, finance, and marketing.
It is with this in mind that Julie Chaurette and Linton S. Garner were invited to join SHDM’s board. With extensive backgrounds in governance and community development respectively, they bring points of view that will enrich discussions on the organization’s management, activities, and projects.
Coinciding with the appointments announced today, the Ville de Montréal renewed the terms of Fabien Cournoyer, Robert Juneau, Alain Lapointe, Ana Nunes, and Marie-José Roux Fauteux, bringing the current number of directors to eight. A ninth and final member will be named later.
