AGM Oct 17, 2027 - Nominees for the Board of directors

Lee, his wife Jenna, and their two daughters have embraced Mansfield as an important part of their winters and family life. Their daughters, Tessa and Quinn, participate in the Club’s racing and freestyle programs, respectively, and the entire family is actively engaged in the Mansfield community. They spend their winter weekends at Mansfield and can often be found enjoying the variety of evening festivities and social activities that make the Club such a special community. For Lee and Jenna, it is the combination of skiing, friendships, family experiences and community that has made Mansfield particularly meaningful to their family.

Professionally, Lee is a senior executive with more than 20 years of leadership experience and particular expertise in sales, marketing, customer experience, partnerships, strategy and organizational leadership. He currently serves as Chief Revenue Officer of D2L, a publicly traded Canadian software company, where he is a member of the executive leadership team and leads the company’s global revenue organization. His responsibilities include worldwide sales, customer success, partnerships and channels, and analyst relations.

Throughout his career, Lee has worked extensively at the intersection of sales and marketing, developing go-to-market strategies, growing and retaining customer relationships, building partnerships, strengthening market positioning and leading teams through periods of growth and change. He believes this experience can provide a valuable perspective as Mansfield continues to attract new members, strengthen engagement with existing members, communicate the unique value of the Club and ensure its long-term sustainability.

Lee also brings previous non-profit governance experience, having previously served with Students Offering Support and Daytrippers Children’s Charity. These roles have provided experience in governance, strategic planning, financial oversight, fundraising and supporting community-focused organizations.

As a Director, Lee would bring a combination of commercial expertise, strategic thinking, financial and business judgment, governance experience and a collaborative leadership style. Most importantly, he would approach the role as a steward of a Club his family genuinely values. He looks forward to listening and learning from Mansfield’s members, management and fellow Directors, while contributing his experience to help preserve what makes the Club special and ensure it continues to thrive for current and future generations.

Greg Weames has been a senior member at Mansfield since 2006. He has spent most of his years, mainly on weekends, teaching and coaching alpine skiing, since he was 15 years old. Upon joining Mansfield, his family (Corrie, Parker, Makenna & Camryn) has been involved in the racing program. Greg has coached many of Mansfield’s athletes, as well as those crazy adults in alpine racing (too much fun to explain here).

Greg is a Certified Ergonomist. He has a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Kinesiology. He has spent the last 28 years as a professional Ergonomist. He spent 5 years at Canadian Pacific Railway as their corporate Ergonomist. He then spent 23 years at Page Engineering, Inc. At Page Engineering, his time is mostly involved in expert witness work, in personal injury and safety civil lawsuit matters. He has published several papers in the scientific community, and has given several presentations at conferences. He has been a member of committees at the Provincial and Federal level in Canada, as well as on an AREMA committee in the USA.

Greg has been involved at ski resorts from Calabogie Peaks to Camp Fortune to Whistler Blackcomb, to name a few. Mansfield is a club that cares deeply that each member is welcome and has their best experience. Mansfield has invested into the member experience for years and Greg will work hard to continue to make that experience better and better.

Geoff, alongside his wife Andrea and their two boys, Ian and Conor, has been a member of Mansfield since 2015. He has been an active leader in the Mansfield Racing program, managing the U12 Extended team for four years and founding the Wolf Pack during COVID to strengthen young racers’ connection to the Mansfield community and build an early passion for the sport.

Geoff is Vice President of Business Development at Armor People Link, a staffing and recruiting business he owns with Andrea. His entrepreneurial career has given him a broad range of skills in online advertising, video production, social media, event communications, and technology.

His aim is to apply this experience in ways that add value, deliver results, and build on the strong community at Mansfield.

As a lifelong entrepreneur, I have always aimed to bring passion, dedication, and clear execution to everything I do. I’ve applied this approach not only to my career and business ventures, but also to my family and, in particular, my boys.

When COVID hit Mansfield, my boys were just entering U10 and U12 in the racing program. They found this a challenging time, as did many of their friends who had grown up in racing. The club faced closures and restrictions, and racing had suddenly lost much of its fun.

Having taken on the manager role for U12 Extended, I decided to apply what I’ve done all my life and bootstrap fun back into the ski racing experience. With considerable help and support from the other U12 Extended families, I created the Wolf Pack. It gave our young racers a shared identity and a team experience that extended beyond training and competition. I’m confident that many of those kids and parents would agree that the Wolf Pack made a lasting difference to their experience at Mansfield. This is the spirit I will bring to my role on the Board.

Day to day, I’m Vice President of Business Development at Armor People Link, a staffing and recruiting business owned by Andrea and me. My entrepreneurial experience includes building ePod, a venture-backed dot-com business in the United States; partnering with FleetOwner Magazine and the American Trucking Association to develop a video learning platform; launching Hashcaster, a hashtag aggregation platform for the event industry; and introducing technology and operating innovations at Armor that helped us navigate COVID, including our CovidSentry app and tracking solution for our clients.

Most recently, we launched The People Gap Podcast, which explores the people challenges companies face as they move from strategy to execution. The podcast is an integral part of our business development program.

These experiences have given me a diverse toolkit and a practical approach to turning ideas into action—skills I will bring to supporting Mansfield and its community.

Outside work, I’m an avid skier, having learned in the hills of Quebec, particularly at Mont Sainte-Marie. I’m also a dedicated runner, now with a ChatGPT coach. Travel is a big part of our family adventures, and my dedication to my boys has no bounds.
