Dear OREIO Members,

I’m very excited to announce that I have been nominated for the Publicity Officer position for the upcoming OREIO board of executives election (Ottawa Real Estate Investment Organization).

Although I am a recent member, I have been investing in real estate for the past 15 years and much more intensely in the past 5 years. I currently own a few multi-family properties in eastern Ontario, am working on adding basement suites and invest in Joint Venture partnerships both locally and in New Brunswick.

I currently work full-time as the Marketing Manager at Riverpath Retirement Community – a Riverstone Retirement Community. I have also been the Marketing and Communications Manager at Lépine Apartments, a local high-end apartment developer. I also possess a degree in Communications and previously had my own marketing firm. As well, I volunteered at the Québec City Chamber of Commerce within the recruitment committee. I was in charge of welcoming new members, ensuring retention and recruiting new members.

I feel that I could bring my expertise in sales and marketing to the publicity department at OREIO. I am also a member of numerous small local Meetup groups and online communities where I could spread the word about OREIO. I have many creative ideas for advertising and am an excellent networker. I thoroughly enjoy meeting new people and feel that OREIO is poised for further growth.

If you’d like to discuss further, please feel free to send me a direct message on Facebook or Instagram.

Thank you,

François Lanthier
