Secretary – Sharon Chadwick
Sharon grew up in Durban, South Africa, and immigrated to Canada in 1989; she joined Imperial Chemical Industries plc (formerly CIL) and after six years was transferred to London, UK, and then sent on an 18-month secondment to Melbourne, Australia, returning to Toronto in late 1999. Sharon specialized in financial consolidation and management reporting applications working in global consulting/software companies and/or multinational corporates.
Sharon took up Masters’ alpine racing in 2007 so it was just a matter of time before she bought a home in Collingwood, in 2016.
