“Governance, when done right, is a key driver of private company performance and this is the only program that recognizes those success stories,” said Jennifer Mondoux, Managing Partner and CEO of MondouxRollins Partners Inc., and Founder and Chair of Canada’s Best Private Boards. “We are honouring the trailblazers but also creating an ecosystem of investors, supporters, private company founders, board members and service providers who are reshaping what drives private company success.”
Now in its second year, Canada's Best Private Boards will continue to blaze a trail, recognizing the impact of governance on the performance of private companies.
Advisory boards and fiduciary boards will be recognized in the following categories:
Family Business

*NEW IN 2025* Significant individual contributions will also be recognized, in both advisory and fiduciary boards, in private companies:
The Trailblazer Award: this award recognizes the outstanding contributions made to a private company and to its board by an individual board member, committee chair or executive chair.
