Where has 2008 gone? Thinking back it has passed quickly, yet so much has happened this year from new sponsorship relationships with great organizations’ such as Wood WORKS, Canadian Green Building Council, Skills Ontario and Sustainable Buildings Canada to name a few. 2008 was all about getting more involved in the construction industry and improving our overall image while covering a wide range of industry events.
One of my personal goals for 2008 were about getting more involved with my local associations and this has lead me to the Public Relations, Membership and Young Leaders Committees for the Niagara Construction Association (NCA). As I look forward to 2009 I am looking to expand my involvement to include a more active part with the Niagara Home Builders Association (NHBA) with the Habitat for Humanity Committee. First question you may ask is where do I find the time, well when you are doing things you enjoy such as getting involved with your associations time is not an issue the meeting became part of your regular schedule and allow you to keep a close eye on the pulse of the industry.
Even though 2008 is coming to a close I still have a few events to attend. First up is the NHBA Christmas Dinner December 2nd at Club Roma in St.Catharines and travelling to Toronto the next morning to attend Construct Canada where we will be set up at booth #117 from December 3rd to 5th. I will also be attending the annual Toronto Construction Association (TCA) Christmas Luncheon where around 2000 people will be networking on the final day of Construct Canada.
On December 11th I will be attending the 3rd Annual Christmas Luncheon & Food Drive for the NCA. The event is being held from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. at the Quality Hotel Parkway Convention Centre and will be benefiting the Niagara Community Care Food Bank. Special quest speakers for the event will be Mr. Paul Charette, Chair and Mr. Michael Atkinson, President of the Canadian Construction Association (CCA) to talk about what the CCA has planned for 2009. This is my first time being directly involved with the event as a member of the NCA Young Leaders Committee; we will also be running a competition again the Hamilton Construction Association and the TCA to see who can raise the most food based on size of membership.
