Our guest speaker on January 11th will be David Wood.
David was born in family home “Woodeden”, which his father gave to Easter Seal Society to create first Easter Seal Camp. While in high school he worked for two summers as a counsellor at Merrywood Camp. Growing up in Toronto, then attending; Crescent School, University of Toronto Schools, Victoria College (BA, Hon. Psych.), Harvard Business School (MBA). He co-founded Crystaplex Plastics, which grew to be Canada’s largest industrial plastics distributor, manufacturer, and fabricator. Business was volatile in the period 1965 -1980, with capital short, he and his partner developed an exciting business model, which maximized employee participation, leading to minimum need for supervision, and maximum service and performance to customers. It worked exceptionally well. Around 1980, David switched fields to work in addictions, running treatment centres in Canada and the USA, and wrote Canadian national standards for addiction counsellors. Crystaplex was then sold, to the great profit of its long-term employees, who had become shareholders. The 1990s were spent in Germany, where his partner did post-graduate work, and jointly founded and ran a small corporation. Since 2000, David has been working with some high-tech companies, doing addict counselling, and attempting to age well.
