It is with mixed emotions that the TLA Board of Directors announces Executive Director Bob Brash will be departing the TLA as of March 2025.  

On behalf of the board and TLA members, we would like to thank Bob for his 5 years of unwavering commitment to the TLA, its board of directors, great staff, and over 400 members. His tireless work advocating for the entire BC forest industry and contractor community has been truly inspiring.

In 2020, Bob joined the TLA when the COVID pandemic began and was a stalwart leader through this trying time.  Bob’s steady hand has been instrumental in uniting the forest industry and lobbying against the imposed changes on the industry. Bob fostered many positive relationships at all levels of government as well as other associations and leaders in the forest industry. Bob’s 45+ years of forestry knowledge and experience has been invaluable to the TLA.

Please join us in thanking Bob for his passion and leadership to the TLA previously as a former board of directors member followed by 5 years as an excellent executive director, and for his many contributions to the forest industry. We are grateful for your service and hard work and wish you all the best in your future. 

The TLA Board looks forward to continuing our dedicated efforts of advancing the forest sector for contractors and everyone working in the industry. To that end, we will begin the search for a new executive director imminently.
