Dear friends and colleagues,

We are pleased to welcome Alana De Florimonte as the new Chair of CPAMO’s Board of Directors.

Alana brings a dynamic blend of executive-level administrative expertise, community engagement, and a deep-rooted commitment to equity and cultural pluralism. With over a decade of experience across finance, real estate, and the arts, she consistently centers people-first approaches and fosters inclusive collaboration in every space she enters.

In her current role as Senior Administrative Assistant at IG Wealth Management, Alana also leads programming for the Black Business Resource Group, curating events that elevate Black artists, entrepreneurs, and community leaders. She is both a strategic organizer and a natural storyteller and advocate, with a strong ability to build partnerships and meaningfully engage diverse audiences.

Alana’s lived experience as a Black Caribbean woman, combined with her operational expertise and natural ability to bring people together, makes her uniquely suited for this leadership role. Her work—ranging from coordinating Grant Thornton’s inaugural Toronto Caribbean Carnival social, to facilitating conversations on anti-Black racism, and organizing panels for Black History Month and Emancipation Day—reflects a deep and ongoing commitment to building inclusive communities.

Her values strongly align with CPAMO’s vision, and we are excited for the insight, continuity, and care she brings to this next chapter of our leadership. We are confident that Alana will not only support our mission, but help amplify it with integrity and a unwavering commitment to cultural equity.

Please join us in warmly welcoming Alana to the Board.

Board of Directors.
