About the Panel:

Dana Bouwman's Insights:
Dana brings a wealth of personal and professional experience to the panel. As the daughter of a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic, she has a unique perspective on dealing with individuals who don't always follow conventional norms. Her empathy for those whose quality of life is impacted by the actions of others adds a layer of understanding to her approach.
During the session, Dana will reference two particularly impactful interactions:
An owner and former board member who was described by residents as a "terror". This individual was suspected of tampering with building equipment to cause failures, creating a significant challenge for the condo board and management team.
A deeply sad case involving a hoarder whose living conditions deteriorated to an alarming state over a 10-year period. The blood-soaked sheets and rotted kitchen cabinetry were distressing for not only the resident, but also their neighbours.
2024 ACR Conference is an event for:
