Call for Volunteers Members of the CMRAO Advisory Committee

Members of the CMRAO Advisory Committee

The Condominium Management Regulatory Authority of Ontario (CMRAO) invites interested individuals to join its Advisory Committee. We are currently looking to put together a roster of individuals available for consultations to be held virtually through MS Teams or Zoom or via electronic surveys.

Overview

The CMRAO is a not-for-profit corporation mandated to provide consumer protection for Ontarians living in condominiums by setting standards and enforcing mandatory licensing of condominium managers and management companies. For more information, please visit www.cmrao.ca

The CMRAO Advisory Committee was created pursuant to Section 7.2 (4) of the CMRAO’s administrative agreement that requires the Board of Directors to establish an advisory process for direct input to the Board on issues of importance to consumers and licensees.

The Advisory Committee members will be appointed by the Board and serve on a voluntary basis.

Purpose

The committee is established to:

• Participate in consultations on specific topics upon request;
• Provide input on emerging topics in the condominium management sector and other topics that may have an impact on the condominium management industry;
• Provide feedback and recommendations on the development of CMRAO’s policies and programs related to licensing, compliance and education, and other general topics of importance to CMRAO and condominium communities.

Term

Advisory Committee members shall be appointed for two-year terms. Terms shall be staggered to ensure continuity in the Committee’s functionality.

Qualifications

While we welcome expressions of interest from all Ontarians, please know that we’re currently seeking two (2) members from condominium communities, such as: condo owners/residents, condo board directors, and two (2) professionals operating in the condominium management industry such as: condo lawyers, auditors, members of professional associations, etc. 

No more than one (1) member may represent a single corporation or entity.

Members must be computer literate.

Expected contribution

The Advisory Committee shall meet at the request of the Board or the CMRAO for feedback on specific topics. Members can expect to meet at a minimum once per year.

The CMRAO may consult with the committee electronically, through surveys or other means that don’t involve travelling (video conference, teleconference).

If meetings are to be convened in person, they will take place at the Toronto location of the CMRAO.

Meeting agendas and supporting documents will be sent to each member in advance of the meeting date.

Expressions of interest

If you are interested in being a member of the Advisory Committee, please send a letter of interest outlining your qualifications and the reason why you would like to be a member – no more than one page, and resume (up to 2 pages).
