The BC Electrical Association (BCEA) announced the appointment of Will Davis as its new president and CEO. He takes over from Barbette Igonia, who is retiring at the end of November after a career with BCEA spanning over 30 years.

With a diverse background as a small business owner, broadcaster, artist, and not-for-profit executive, Davis brings a wealth of experience and a unique perspective to lead BCEA towards continued growth and success.

“After meeting Will I knew the BCEA would be in great hands. His experience in not-for-profit strategic planning and his belief in community impact aligns with the BCEA mission, vision, values and is a great fit for the future direction of the association,” said Igonia.

He excels in nurturing relationships and delivering impactful messaging. His expertise in media relations will be valuable in enhancing BCEA’s brand presence and stakeholder engagement.

Davis and Igonia will be working together until the BCEA’s Annual Awards Luncheon on November 29, 2024.

“My tenure with the BCEA has been a source of deep fulfillment and pride, and I am immensely grateful for the unwavering support, collaboration, and unity that have defined our association’s legacy,” said Igonia.
