Jeannine Martin is the new president of the Vancouver Regional Construction Association (VRCA). The VRCA Board of Directors announced the appointment, which became effective on Tuesday, August 8, earlier this week.<\/p>\n

The association says that her extensive construction industry knowledge positions Martin well as she leads the team charged with the tasks of elevating member engagement, meeting and anticipating member priorities, and demonstrating industry leadership and advocacy on a regional level.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe board of directors of the VRCA is pleased to introduce Jeannine Martin as the president of the VRCA.\u00a0<\/span>Her extensive history in construction and passion for the industry resonated with every board member,\u201d stated VRCA\u00a0chair,\u00a0Will Pauga. \u201c<\/span>Her appointment to the president\u2019s role is crucial at this time of inclusion for all groups underrepresented in the construction industry. One of her main priorities will be advocating for a more inclusive industry, which is part of VRCA\u2019s strategic plan.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

With over 25 years of industry experience in private construction and engineering, and leadership on local industry boards, including the British Columbia Construction Roundtable (BCCR) and the Association of Consulting Engineering Companies \u2013 British Columbia (ACEC-BC), the association says that Martin understands the challenges and opportunities facing B.C.\u2019s construction industry.<\/p>\n

Her extensive experience working with government agencies and construction professionals within the industry will help as she focuses on building connections with VRCA members, stakeholders, and staff; organizes VRCA\u2019s strategic plan; works with the British Columbia Construction Association (BCCA) to continue to advance prompt payment legislation and other topline issues; and continues the development of VRCA\u2019s reconciliation action plan.<\/p>\n
