Four industry leaders elected to the Vancouver Island Construction Association board

 

 

November 14, 2019 (Victoria, BC) – The Vancouver Island Construction Association (VICA) and its membership elected four industry leaders to its 2019-2020 Board of Directors at its Annual General Meeting on November 7, 2019. There were nine nominees from across Vancouver Island.

Chris Williams, Houle Electric (Victoria), and Byron Tarby, National Contracting Solutions (Nanaimo), were newly elected to the VICA Board of Directors. James Clapp, JLT Marsh Specialty (Victoria), and Scott Torry, AFC Construction (Courtenay), were re-elected. Roger Yager will remain Chair of the Board and Dave Flint, Flynn Canada, will remain Past Chair. James Clapp is poised to be appointed Vice Chair at the first board meeting of 2020 after serving his second term on the Board as the Treasurer.

Byron and Chris are both involved in the VICA U40 networks in their respective regions and will offer a fresh perspective to the Board as it offers guidance and leadership on behalf of the VICA membership. Their fresh outlook on VICA’s member and industry services, combined with the knowledge and experience from the existing Board of Directors, sets the construction association up for further growth, development, and industry advocacy.

The AGM reached quorum from industry members in good standing at its offices in Victoria and Nanaimo. This year, VICA introduced online voting for the election of the 2019/2020 VICA Board of Directors, enabling members to cast a vote for their elected industry leaders from office, jobsite, or home — giving everyone a voice in this busy industry where time is hard to come by. Outgoing directors Keith Parsonage, Houle Electric (Past Vice Chair), Tyler Galbraith, Jenkins Marzban Logan LLP, and Marnie Pringle, Starline Windows, were thanked for their time served on the Board.
