Brenda McLean is chiefly responsible for providing guidance on major corporate and investment decisions at our board of directors level. She provides valuable advice and criticism on significant transactions, management issues, and financial performance -- and is not afraid to use her effective veto over capital expenditures or financings that do not meet her standards of fiscal prudence and planning. A former art gallery curator with a BA in art history from Queen's University, Brenda McLean was the central figure in the extremely successful marketing and leasing program that filled the Landing with new tenants in the mid-1980's prior to the completion of our major heritage renovation and well ahead of budget. She is a licenced realtor in British Columbia and plays a significant role in our in-house realty company, Blanca Realty, as well as the management of our residential holdings. She is also responsible for the McLean Group's philanthropic activities including several scholarships and educational funding through the McLean McCuaig Foundation and the distinguished decade-old Brenda and David McLean Chair in Canadian Studies at UBC. With a keen lifelong interest in health and healing issues, Brenda McLean is a past director and member of the executive committee of the Vancouver Hospital & Health Sciences Centre, the largest hospital in the Province, as well as the board of the Tzu Chi Institute of Alternative and Complementary Medicine. She is also a past director of the Queen’s University Council and the Vancouver Art Gallery.
