Carrie McLaren

I have volunteered for the Green Party since 2006 continuously in various roles; EDA CEO, financial agent for 3 EDA's, GPC Fund board member, official agent, EFR training, and a candidate as well as other similar activities at the provincial and municipal level. I was part of the Green team that successfully elected two Greens, to the City of Burnaby Council and School Board in 2018.

With a Business Degree and advanced diploma in accounting, and working in the non-profit housing property management field, I report to numerous boards dealing with budgets, auditors, financial statements and monthly accounting. As a volunteer I have Board governance experience and know how to work for the interest of members as a whole. Currently I serve as a director and treasurer for my own housing co-op - successfully updating administrative policies and guiding it through an end of government mortgage re-financing agreement. Previously I served as a director for a local non-profit housing society for 6 years.

Keeping the unique nature of green values in mind, my goal is to represent members and the Fund with civility, and transparency following the party’s policies, constitution, and all governance documents. We need to work together to map achievable and measurable goals for the party to successfully move forward and elect more Green MP's.
