Said McLaughlin “I grew up around business from a very young age. Some of my earliest memories are sitting on laps at AGMs, being around Sunday board meetings, stuffing envelopes, entering data, and watching adults deal with serious business decisions. Those experiences shaped the way I think. They gave me an early appreciation for systems, responsibility, risk, decision-making, and the seriousness of building something that has to last.” This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Tom has been involved with OHBA for over five years, and most recently served as 1st Vice President of OHBA’s Board of Directors, as well as serving on several committees. McLaughlin expanded on the role of OHBA and his reasons for being involved “The job of OHBA is to fight for a system that allows our members to do more of that to build more homes, support more families, and create more communities across Ontario. My local association roots through Grand Highlands HBA, and my broader connection to Guelph, Wellington, Dufferin, and Waterloo Region reinforces the idea that advocacy starts locally, with real builders, real communities, and real challenges.” Get the latest headlines, breaking news and columns.By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.A welcome email is on its way.
