Welcome to our newest Board member, Blaire Masztalar!
|
|
We are pleased to announce the appointment of Blaire Masztalar, General Manager, Fraser Valley Refrigeration, to the MCABC Board of Directors for the remainder of the 2023-24 term. Blaire succeeds Joe Buccella, Lisi Mechanical, who resigned from his remaining term to fulfill growing business obligations.
Blaire brings to the MCABC Board a wealth of experience both in the field and in the business and a focus that is aligned with MCABC’s leading role in climate action initiatives. A second-generation mechanical contractor, Blaire apprenticed as a Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Mechanic before earning his Electrical and Gas tickets.
We look forward to working with and learning from Blaire.
A very special thank you to Joe for his support and dedication to MCABC.
