Arlene Hare
treasurer of the board
I bring a wide range of diverse experience in the financial industry. I received a Bachelor of Science in Accountancy at Colegio de San Juan de Letran in the Philippines. Back home, I acquired extensive working experience from positions in government to private companies. Coming to Canada 14 years ago was a struggle for me, as I came here as a temporary foreign worker.
I began as a food attendant at Tim Hortons, and worked my way up as a manager. I returned to school and had the opportunity to work in the oil and gas industry. These events have driven me to explore other avenues for self-improvement, thus, developing my business acumen in the process.
Currently, I am an International Property Specialist for SMDC, a multi-million real estate company. I train, guide, and motivate other people who share the same interests and passions as mine. Each of these roles and experiences have helped me to gain an understanding of the non-profit sector. I now manage teams of international salesforce across Canada and around the globe, which have demonstrated continued growth. I firmly believe that “good business leaders create vision, articulate vision, passionately owns the vision, and relentlessly drives it to completion.”
