Lee Ann Bartley
Secretary | Airdrie, AB
Lee Ann recently moved to Airdrie from Victoria, BC. (yes I know, why?! Good question long answer :)) She retired in 2020, after 20 plus years as the Executive Director of a small non-profit. She has also worked in the legal field (accounting) as well as the credit and financial industries.
Lee Ann has been a strata owner in BC for 30 plus years, being on council most of those years and has served time in all of the positions. She’s had experience with self-managed stratas as well as working with Property Managers.
Once she has spare time again, she is looking forward to travelling, exploring Alberta again and visiting old friends (she lived in Calgary as a teenager), reading, knitting, card making, etc.
David Minifie
Director | Canmore, AB
Following a 38 year career with a major bank, in 2010 David retired to Canmore, Alberta, living in a condo purchased some years prior.
Interested in applying some of his knowledge and skills that helped to build his career, David joined the condo Board in 2011 and has served as its President for most of his time on the board. In addition, he serves as President on another condo board where he has a rental property. In 2018 he joined the Board of the Canmore Seniors Association, serving as President for 3 years and continuing in the role of Past-President. In 2015, David founded the Canmore Condominium Interest Group which provides a forum to support the sharing of information and problem solving.
David supports striving to achieve a ‘best in class’ condo corporation and positive community reputation, including strong governance (principles and practices), financials (budget, finance, capital work), Board structure (organization, operations, collaborative and team approach), and progressive communications with owners.
Living in Canmore means getting out into the wild, and he volunteers extensively with Alberta Parks assisting in the areas of wildlife research and management.
