OSSGA’s Board of Directors has appointed Michael McSweeney as its new executive director (ED).
“On behalf of the OSSGA Board, we are pleased to have Michael as our new ED at this pivotal moment in our sector’s history,” says OSSGA Board of Directors Chair Rob Pierce. “Ontario Stone Sand and Gravel Association finds itself at a crucial moment in time as all three levels of government are committed to the largest infrastructure investment and spending that our province has ever seen.
