Presidents message...

​

Hello Members, 

​

 As President of the Ontario Association of Property Standards Officers (OAPSO), I am honoured to address you through this message.

​

I would like to begin by expressing my sincere gratitude to our Board of Directors, support members, and instructor teams. Their dedication, leadership, and commitment to our association have been instrumental in our continued growth and success. I am deeply appreciative of the time, expertise, and energy they generously contribute on behalf of all our members.

​

I would also like to take this opportunity to extend my sincere appreciation to our Immediate Past President, Alexander Wray, for his outstanding leadership and dedication. His commitment over the past several years has been instrumental in guiding our association, strengthening our organization, and positioning OAPSO for continued success.

Together, we have built a strong foundation for the future of Property Standards Officers in Ontario.

​

Looking ahead, I encourage the Board of Directors to remain focused on delivering the initiatives identified for 2025–2026 while continuing to build on the momentum we have created together.

​

Over the coming year, we will be exploring the development of a strategic budget to strengthen our financial planning and enhance our risk management practices. We will also continue to leverage technology to deliver accessible and efficient training opportunities for members across the province, while fostering existing partnerships and creating new opportunities for collaboration. In addition, our Directors will be focused on developing foundational supports within each of their respective portfolios to strengthen our governance, enhance the services we currently provide, and position OAPSO to better meet the evolving needs of our members. 

​

As part of our commitment to improving communication and member engagement, I encourage all members to ensure their profiles on the OAPSO website are current. Our website now serves as the primary platform for member communications, training registration, certification applications, and other important association services. 

​

As we look to the future, I am excited about what we can accomplish together. The strength of OAPSO has always been its members, and I am grateful for the passion, professionalism, and commitment each of you brings to our association and to the communities you serve. Thank you for your continued support and dedication. Together, we will continue to strengthen our profession, support one another, and build a bright future for Property Standards Officers across Ontario.

​

Sincerely,

Mary Beth Mitchell 
President
Ontario Association of Property Standards Officers
