MESSAGES FROM THE DEANS

ON BEHALF OF OSGOODE HALL LAW SCHOOL, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the 17th Annual JD/MBA Students’ Association Conference: “Lex in the City: Urban Issues in Law & Business.” Osgoode pioneered the development of the LL.B./MBA, now the JD/MBA, in 1972 and this program has been a source of innovation, inspiration and pride in the four decades since. Today, with the support of the Hennick Centre for Business and Law, the joint program has never been more vibrant. I commend the JD/MBA Students’ Association for their choice of topic for this year’s conference. The intersection of law, business and the dynamics of the city brings together a complex and compelling set of challenges – economic, environmental, democratic, etc., - which highlight the need for interdisciplinary analysis and polycentric solutions. This focus on multiple perspectives and innovation is reflected throughout the program. The program features decision-makers and thought-leaders from the City of Toronto and beyond. David Miller and Michael Cooper are ideal “bookend” keynote speakers to address these challenges and possibilities. I am confident that this year’s JD/MBA Students’ Association Conference will be stimulating, informative, engaging, and provocative. Thanks to all those who are participating in this exciting event. Lorne Sossin Dean Osgoode Hall Law School

ON BEHALF OF THE SCHULICH SCHOOL OF BUSINESS, I wish to extend a warm welcome to all of the delegates, presenters, sponsors and guests at the 17th annual JD/MBA Conference. Established in the early 1970s, the joint JD/MBA was the first degree program of its kind in Canada and one of the first in all of North America. The program, jointly delivered by two highly rated professional schools, provides students with a solid grounding in the fundamentals of both business and law. Over the years, it has produced a large number of outstanding graduates who have distinguished themselves in a wide range of fields. The JD/MBA Conference has always presented engaging and topical themes. This year’s conference continues that tradition of real-world relevance. The theme of “Lex and the City: Urban Issues in Law and Business” tackles some of the key issues facing the City of Toronto, which has recently emerged as the fourth largest urban centre in North America. I would like to offer my congratulations to the members of the JD/MBA Conference executive team for all of their work in organizing this year’s event, particularly with respect to the impressive line-up of guest speakers - individuals who are on the front lines of dealing with Toronto’s urban development challenges. I am certain that you will find this year’s conference to be a memorable and rewarding experience, and I strongly encourage you to take advantage of the many learning and networking opportunities it will offer. Dezsö J. Horváth Dean & Tanna H. Schulich Chair in Strategic Management Schulich School of Business

KAREN STINTZ Councillor, Ward 16 (Eglinton-Lawrence), City of Toronto Born and raised in North York, Karen Stintz is a lifelong Toronto resident. She started her political career when - shortly after buying her first house – she felt compelled to get involved in issues that affected her neighbourhood. She ran for office in 2003 with her husband as her campaign manager and was elected Councillor for Ward 16 in a surprise win over 20 year incumbent, Anne Johnston. In 2009, Karen founded and co-led the Responsible Government Group that opposed former Mayor David Miller’s increases in spending, property taxes and business taxes and presented an alternative budget that proposed to cut $80 million from the City budget. The group also vocally opposed the Mayor’s handling of the 2009 City Workers’ strike. In 2010, she was named Chair of the TTC and in that role has committed to strengthening the organization's customer service focus, driving change, and improving the transit network. Accomplishments during her tenure included a Customer Service Charter, balancing the budget with a 10% reduction in the subsidy, realigning services to match revenue, contracting out garbage and maintenance services, launching Wi-Fi in the subway system, and approving the introduction of the Province’s electronic fare system. Active at both City Hall and in the community, Karen sits on the City’s Planning and Growth Management Committee; Employee and Labour Relations Committee; and the City’s Striking Committee (essentially an appointments committee). She is also a member of the Providence Healthcare Foundation, the GTAA’s Community Environment & Noise Advisory Committee and she sits on the Board of Directors for the North Toronto Memorial Arena and the Larry Grossman Forest Hill Memorial Arena. She is also a member of the Yonge-Lawrence Village BIA, The Uptown Yonge BIA and the Eglinton Way BIA. Despite her many commitments, her greatest love is spending time with her children Jackson, 9, and Hailey, 7. An avid athlete and sports fan, she also runs, cycles and skis. Karen continues to live in her North Toronto neighbourhood with her husband, two children and her father. Before being elected City Councillor, Karen spent seven years managing and delivering healthcare programs in both the public and private sectors. She is a graduate of the University of Western Ontario, holds a Master of Science in Journalism from Boston University and a Master of Public Administration from Queen’s University.

Pennachetti was named City Manager for the City of Toronto in October 2008, with overall responsibility for 37,000 staff and a budget of $13.3 billion delivering services to 2.7 million residents.

These Strategic Actions are designed to advance City Council's vision, mission and goals for Toronto as articulated in its Strategic Plan. The actions were developed to complement the City's initiatives and programs over the next five years. Under Mr. Pennachetti's leadership, the City of Toronto continues to be recognized internationally for quality, innovation and efficiency in delivering public services. Mr. Pennachetti is committed to service excellence. In 2010, he awarded the first City Manager's Award for Public Service Excellence. The highly successful program continues and now includes recognition of divisional and cross-corporate projects as well as a category that recognizes divisional initiatives that contribute to the City's goal of removing barriers for equity-seeking groups and/or contribute to the City's human rights, equity and diversity goals. Mr. Pennachetti joined the Toronto Public Service in 2002 as the City's Chief Financial Officer. As Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Pennachetti contributed to the enhancement of Toronto's business climate through a 15-year plan to reduce business property taxes and a 10-year plan to reduce property taxes on small business. Mr. Pennachetti has also worked on the City's numerous financing partnership agreements with the federal and provincial governments and the private sector, which have resulted in significant new infrastructure for the City. Prior to joining the City of Toronto, Mr. Pennachetti was the Treasurer and Commissioner of Finance for the Regional Municipality of Peel for six years; from 1990 to 1995, he was the Treasurer and Commissioner of Finance for the Regional Municipality of York.
