IIBEC Southern Ontario Chapter Hosts IIBEC 40th Anniversary Celebration

 Jordan Swail, IIBEC Southern Ontario Chapter Director

IIBEC Southern Ontario Chapter hosted a celebration of IIBEC’s 40-year anniversary at the Sheraton Toronto Airport Hotel & Conference Centre on April 4, 2023. The event followed the ROOFTech Tradeshow and was an exceptional opportunity for our members to connect, celebrate, and reflect on how far we have come as an organization.

Adam Gotfraind, president of the Southern Ontario Chapter, started off the event with some thoughtful words on the chapter and was followed by Brian Pallasch, IIBEC’s executive vice president and chief executive office, who praised the importance of our local chapter and IIBEC’s important historic role in the building enclosure and roofing industries. In addition to the words of the IIBEC executive, the board presented a student bursary to Dagmawit Habtom.

The event included great food, beverages, and some delicious anniversary cake. It was attended by 87 members and nonmembers, including industry professionals, roofing contractors, and manufacturers’ reps.

Special thank you to the social committee and to Christine Kebezes and Betty Quan from Toronto Construction Association for putting this event together. We would also like to thank Pallasch as well as Arissa Cooper, IIBEC’s marketing manager, for making the trip to join us!
