Goals for my work with the Board
My main goal is to return peace and harmony to our community of Coral Beach. In addition I believe in a timely flow of relevant facts between owners and the Board. This condo community includes numerous professionals and people with expertise in a variety of fields - I believe that all owners should be given the choice to contribute to their community in ways such as committees. Also that we function at our best with full committees.
I bring to the Board the following skills and focus:
- an understanding of our governing documents and legal proceedings. In the last year, at my own expense I have spent much time with three Bahamian lawyers, to this end. In addition, I have 'learned at my father's feet" as he was a director from 1983-1989 and took time to share this experience with me. Also, I have more than average experience in working with legal matters, including providing reports to judges and providing expert witness testimony;
- a resolve to keep Coral Beach on a solid financial basis. This would include reserve funds to cover expenses such as hurricane repairs; and, short term and long term organizational planning. (example: replacement of the sewage plant)
- a focus on a plan to develop the properties of the condo as well as maintain the current properties;
- commitment to bring forward the needs and concerns of Coral Beach condo owners;
- demand quality assurance of work performed for maintenance and repairs;
- integrity to adhere to the duties of a director as outlined in "The Articles, "Amendment(s)", and 2004 Governance Committee Report
- I have made myself officially 'part-time' so that I may be ready to meet any possible new time demands.
Personal experience with the Coral Beach Hotel
I have been coming to the Bahamas since 1968 and to Coral Beach since the early 1970's. My father, Louis Krygsman, bought his condo in the mid-1970's and was Chairman in 1986. My Mother, Audrey Krygsman, deceased 18 August 1995, served as a vote counter and on the Elections Committee. I have been an owner since 2004. On October 31, 2004 I was married at Coral Beach. The Bahamas is 'home' to me; I have had 17 moves. I wish to pass on this legacy to my daughter who loves our community, and my grandchild.
Professional Experience
I received my Honours BA in English and Religion from Carleton University and a Bachelor of Education from the University of Toronto. I taught English, art and religion at the high school level in Toronto (Ontario), Victoria (British Columbia), and Halifax (Nova Scotia). While in Halifax I taught financial courses, as the Eastern Nova Scotia Militia District Controller, to officers and rewrote one of the military financial manuals. In total I spent 6 years teaching and was licensed in 3 provinces.
I pursued my science courses while in British Columbia and Novas Scotia, completing my MD at Dalhousie University. I completed my Psychiatric residency at the Royal Ottowa Hospital and received my FRCPC in 1989. Immediately after this, I joined the staff of the ROH as a Clinical Rehab Coordinator. During this period I was also an Assistant Professor with the Department of Medicine at the University of Ottowa. Next and until 1991 I was the Assistant Head of the Family Court Clinic for the Department of Forensic Psychiatry. In 1991 I began my solo practise in psychiatry. I continue to conduct research and work with various agencies presenting workshops on depression and front-line treatment of dissociative disorder. I have also been the liaison for the Rideauwood Families Program and worked with the House of Hope.
Committees
I have chaired the clinical co-ordinating committee of CB-5. Also I have been a member of the Forensic Committee at the ROH and the PUC Committee. I was a member of the communications committee (OMA), my division, in the late 1990's. I have membership with: The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of ON, OMA, CMPA, CPA, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C. (temporary hold).
Please do not hesitate to contact me on any question or matter that may arise. I have an 'open door' policy.

Dr. Roche's experience as a psychiatrist would be extremely useful, especially if she is elected to serve on the Board along with any current members!
Her familiarity with our governing documents, as well as the law is impressive and very important at this particular time in Coral Beach history.
