2025 BOARD OF DIRECTORS ELECTIONS

The Board of Directors is a key leadership team at Libro. The success of Libro relies heavily on the composition of the board, which necessitates individuals possessing the requisite abilities, knowledge, experience, and traits. Based on a skills gap analysis, ideal candidates in the 2025 elections will have one or more of the following competencies:

  • Accounting
  • Financial Expertise
  • Regulatory Oversight
  • Cybersecurity Expertise
  • Risk Management
  • Digital Fluency
  • Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) Fluency

In addition, experience providing oversight in a highly regulated environment or holding a financial qualification, such as a Chartered Accountant (CPA)/Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), would be an asset.

The table below identifies the candidates in the 2025 board elections. Elections take place at the Annual General Meeting on April 12, 2025, with Owner-elected Representatives carrying the vote during those elections.

**Libro introduced the practice of candidate endorsements for the 2025 director elections. An “Endorsed by the Committee” label indicates the candidate has the official support of the Director Recruitment Sub-Committee. Endorsement is a way to let voting Owner Representatives know which candidates have the skills, experience and behavioural competencies need to govern Libro. This marks a commitment to transparency and informed decision-making in the election process.
