MAPLE Thanks Our Outgoing Leadership

We are grateful for the tremendous support and participation of the members of our leadership team who are stepping down from their roles this month. 

Garth Stevens - Board of Directors
We wish to thank Garth Stevens for his many contributions to the founding and growth of MAPLE. As a co-founder and lead counsel for MAPLE, Garth has consistently supported our organization traveling regularly from Phoenix to attend and speak at our Southern California receptions. Garth joined us for our inaugural delegation to Vancouver and has provided invaluable counsel since the time MAPLE was being conceived. We also wish to thank Garth for championing our community through Snell & Wilmer's membership.

Michael Speer - Advisory Board
We would like to thank Michael Speer for his support of MAPLE and for championing our mission within the Brookfield organization which led to participation by two divisions for several years. Recently, Michael helped us to refocus Brookfield's membership to the company's significant investment in the redevelopment of the California Market Center in the LA Fashion District. Thank you Michael for all that you have done for us.

Charles Gauthier - Regional Director Team
Un grand merci to Charles Gauthier for his passion for and many contributions to MAPLE. Early on, Charles raised his hand seeking to join and volunteer his time to connect MAPLE with Québec. Charles became our Regional Director for Québec, first from his home in Los Angeles and then from Montreal since 2019. Charles developed an outstanding 3-day program for a delegation to Montreal and Quebec City that we hope to reschedule in the future. As a talented photographer, Charles has memorialized countless MAPLE receptions for us helping to celebrate our community to our overall network. Thank you, Charles!
