Michele Maheux, Executive director and chief operating officer of TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) was named one of Canada’s Most Powerful Women today in The Women’s Executive Network’s yearly look at the top 100 achievers in Canada’s private, public and not-for-profit sectors. Lucky for us, Michele will be joining us at this year’s Gratitude Tea. Not only will she be participating in the afternoon event but she graciously donated her time and wisdom to an auction item this year. We can now share with you that one of the items up for grabs in this year’s silent auction will be a lunch with Michele at Oliver and Bonacini’s LUMA at TIFF Bell Lightbox. With her wealth of knowledge of the film and television sectors and her nearly 30 years work experience in private and governmental organizations, this would be a great opportunity for anyone looking to gain insight into working for a cultural organization or moving up the corporate ladder.

What’s at the top of Anne’s Christmas wishlist? A nice bottle of bubbly, preferably shared with friends over great conversations.
