August 10, 2022, Vaughan, Ont. – The OBOA is pleased to announce that Lynn Balfour has been appointed the Interim CAO of the OBOA, effective August 15, 2022.
“I’m excited to work with the OBOA Board of Directors and staff to continue to move the association forward to new opportunities as we transition through the impacts of the pandemic challenges of the past two years,” says Lynn.
“We are confident that with Lynn’s experience in all facets of what we do and who we are as an association that she will flourish in this role and continue to promote and lead our association in the coming months,” OBOA President, Joyanne Beckett says.
Lynn brings more than 35 years of experience in the building industry with the majority of that time as a building official, including seven years as the Chief Building Official for the County of Brant. Since 2016, she has overseen the creation and maintenance of technical training content to support member programs in her role as the OBOA Director of Education Development.
