Message from the SICA Chair
The Southern Interior Construction Association (SICA) grew out of a desire to, primarily, create a central location for members to view tender documents.

In 1969 our priorities included; improving the quality of construction in the southern Interior, developing standards and practices for local building, and representing the southern Interior in matters of national, provincial, and local policies and legislation.
We can all agree that the times and the construction industry have changed quite significantly. While representing the southern Interior at the local, provincial, and national level remains an important piece of the association, companies are looking for more from their membership in SICA.
For our association to remain relevant, it is vital that we provide value for our membership. This has become even more of a challenge as the construction industry and the world are changing so rapidly. The question of value is one we continue to address around the board table and in the offices of the association.
Today, in 2019 our priorities are; maintaining financial sustainability, enhancing the brand recognition of SICA, delivering on membership value, and increasing partnerships with industry stakeholders. The speed at which the world changes is much faster today than it was in 1969, and our association will need to continue to shift and adapt. This is a challenge, which I know our board of directors and the SICA team are up for.
The strength of this organization is our connection to our members and I would like to thank you all for continuing to support our organization. The list of achievements that SICA has made over the years is too great to list here, but they are significant and far reaching. It is because of your membership and support that this organization can continue on our behalf.
It’s been a privilege to serve again as board chair in 2018-2019. Once again, I would like to thank the entire SICA team for their excellent work and making my job as chair an enjoyable and meaningful experience. ◆
