new board of directors

The Annual General Meeting brought members, partners, tenants, and community supporters together to reflect on the past year and look ahead to what comes next.

The meeting provided an opportunity to review the Annual Report and financial statements, share organizational updates, and celebrate the continued strength of our multifaith community. Members also participated in important governance matters, including the election of directors to the Board.

We are pleased to welcome three new Independent Directors to the Board:

Bernard Benoit
Bernard brings more than two decades of project management experience along with a longstanding commitment to community housing. His practical expertise and community focus will support MHI’s continued growth and operational strength.

Shirley Siegel
Shirley is a former senior public service executive with extensive experience in human resources and policy, including international work. Her background in leadership and governance, combined with her volunteer involvement in social housing initiatives, adds valuable strategic insight to the Board.

Amanda Tompkins
Amanda is a bilingual senior finance professional and Chartered Professional Accountant with significant experience in financial management and nonprofit governance. Her expertise will strengthen MHI’s financial oversight and long term sustainability.

The AGM reaffirmed MHI’s commitment to inclusive, community based housing and strong governance. With the addition of Bernard, Shirley, and Amanda, the Board is well positioned to guide the organization in the year ahead.
