Membership Spotlight

Patrick Boily, CAE | Ontario Community Support Association (OCSA)

I am the director of policy with the Ontario Community Support Association (OCSA). We represent over 220 not-for-profit home and community care providers in Ontario. I lead the development and implementation of OCSA’s advocacy, government relations, public policy and stakeholder engagement agenda. I first connected with CSAE through some of the online resources and events. This led to me completing my CAE® designation and joining the association. The online resources provided by CSAE have been invaluable to my professional development and ongoing growth as an association leader—along with being key to OCSA’s success. Connect with me on Twitter and LinkedIn.
