Patti LeFrancois

Patti LeFrancois is stepping down from the BC Log & Timber Builders Industry Association (BC LTBIA). LeFrancois’ involvement with the association began in 1997 at the Association’s first gathering in Harrison Hot Springs, where she was representing a builder client and became a charter member of the Association.  In 1998, Patti joined the Board and executive as Treasurer and served in this capacity for a few years before taking on consulting roles with the association in various capacities. She participated with the IAS committee and assisted with the development of the Industry Occupational Health and Safety Program and has continued to update the program over the years; she was the lead writer and program liaison with the ITA and RCITO for the Log Builder Apprenticeship program; and most recently has served as the BC LTBIA Executive Director since the fall of 2011.

Patti adds, “After 25 years of immersion in the Log and Timber Building industry, it is time for a fresh perspectives and new blood to take the industry forward in emerging markets with new and changing codes. I have decided to step back, reduce my workload and spend more time with my grandchildren and take life a little bit easier by working part-time only on a much smaller scale.”

Patti LeFrancois’ contribution to the association was unmeasurable. She was always working behind the scenes and supplying and consolidating what the board of directors needed to keep momentum. We thank Patti for her many years of service to the log and timber industry!
