Maureen Sabia Chairman of the Board, Canadian Tire Corporation CORPORATE POWER PLAYER TORONTO • 23 SEPTEMBRE, 2010

For a woman who does not believe in a balanced life, Maureen Sabia has managed to make a challenging and hard working life for herself, enjoying herself immensely along the way. As a lawyer and an experienced corporate director, her leadership abilities, her understanding of organizational and strategic issues, and very importantly, relationship issues, has led her to being named Chairman of the Board of a major public company, Canadian Tire Corporation. This is a position that fewer than 5 women hold in major Canadian corporations. She has also served as Chairman of the Export Development Corporation (Export Development Canada). She has served on six other major Boards of Directors and chaired a number of Audit Committees. She is currently the Chairman of the Departmental Audit Committee at Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada, and Vice- Chairman of The Public Accountants Council for the Province of Ontario. As Chairman of the Board, she believes very strongly in the huge advantages to be obtained by creating, nurturing and sustaining productive and effective relationships with both management, and her colleagues on the Board. Time consuming, but necessary to an effective boardroom dynamic, she says. Maureen meets her challenges with a passionate commitment to her high standards, and the strength of her leadership abilities. Join us as Maureen shares lessons of achievement and her definition of success.
