Brendan Nobes to serve second year as CCA Chair
The Canadian Construction Association (CCA) has reappointed Brendan Nobes to serve as Chair of its board of directors this year.
Nobes, who served as Chair in the association’s 2022–2023 year was reconfirmed as Chair at the CCA’s annual conference in Arizona on March 7. He counts more than 35 years’ experience in the industry, and currently serves as director of major projects for Halifax-based rcs construction, which builds throughout Atlantic Canada.
During his term as CCA Chair last year, Nobes helped advance a governance-focused agenda for the association that included developing a new governance manual, changing the association’s bylaws to allow for an option to extend the term of chair from one to two years, diversifying the composition of the board, and refreshing the association’s strategic plan.
For its efforts, CCA was recognized for its leadership with an award from the Governance Professionals of Canada.
CCA says it will continue its focus on building workforce capacity, advancing fair procurement and a long-term infrastructure plan, including trade-enabling infrastructure, while strengthening the bonds between the national office and its partner associations.
