Canadian Construction Association recognized for governance excellence

On November 17, 2022, Charles Caza, Chair of the Governance and Nominating Committee, accepted an award from the Governance Professionals of Canada.

The award, one of only seven handed out annually, recognizes the Canadian Construction Association’s (CCA) excellence in Board and Director Effectiveness.

“CCA has intentionally focused on becoming a best-in-class association since 2017. Our governance effectiveness has been a multi-year journey, and we review our association against best practices annually,” said CCA President Mary Van Buren.

Of note is the robust governance manual and a fulsome orientation for the Board, National Advisory Councils (NAC), and Board Committee volunteers developed by CCA’s staff and Governance and Nominating Committee over the past two years.

“Our internal evaluations have shown strong support for our governance and engagement model, and this external recognition by the Governance Professionals of Canada, its sponsors, and this year’s panel of judges reinforces the decisions we have taken and the tools and policies we have developed and implemented to support our current governance model,” stated Charles Caza.

CCA is very proud of this achievement. We sincerely thank the original working group, chaired by Joe Wrobel (CCA past-Chair, 2020-21), the Governance and Nominating Committee, and the CCA Board of Directors for their efforts to continuously improve the association.
