Directors of EMSRA 2024-2025

Hello, my Name is Lindsey Biro and I am a retired school
Principal and a longtime resident of Erin Mills.
I love this community and everything it offers.
I walk our pathways and forests and always feel a great sense of
community which I will work to preserve!

Hello my name is Terry Chemij and I have lived in Sawmill Valley for 8 years with my wife and two children. I currently work for a global relief, development and advocacy organization. I’ve worked in strategic communications and have worked in politics at the provincial and federal levels as a political staffer and campaign manager. I was a member of the Focus On 4099 Erin Mills group in 2023 that worked with concerned neighbours, councillor Matt Mahoney and Queenscorp to address the plaza redevelopment. I take a strategic, pragmatic and constructive approach in all that I do and look forward to supporting the mission and vision of EMSRA.

Hello, my name is David Shippen and I am a married father of 2 daughters. I have lived in Erin Mills for 30 years. I am the Sr. Manager of Canadian Operations for New Balance Athletics. I decided to become part of the original EMSRA incorporators so that I could help shape and influence the decisions that impact our neighbourhood. I am excited to be part of an organization that helps maintain a vibrant and healthy community.
