Professionally, Cassia has dedicated her career to working with organizations with social profit goals and values, helping them build strong foundations so they can focus on what they do best: provide services that strengthen community and contribute to the betterment of society.

In her volunteer roles, Cassia brings her leadership, knowledge, skills, and experience to the board table in support of tenants rights, and Co-op and non-market housing in Canada. Cassia acts as treasurer for the Co-op Housing Federation of Canada and TRAC (Tenant Resource & Advisory Centre) and is a past president of the Co-op Housing Federation of BC and BC Community Land Trust. She continues to work as a consultant with CHF BC, chairing Zoom general meetings for member coops.

When all the work is wrapped up for the day, Cassia enjoys knitting and the company of her orange tabby Kevin Bacon, and chocolate lab, Kaptain. An East Vancouverite from birth, she is a member of Trout Lake Housing Co-op where she chairs their Capital Planning Committee.

Cassia will be part of the 40 Years of Navigating Challenges Together – So Far, So Good… panel at the 2022 Spring Education Conference.
