We are pleased to announce that, effective June 15, Elizabeth Mills will become the inaugural CEO of the organization being formed to amalgamate the FSA (Farm Safety Association), IAPA (Industrial Accident Prevention Association), and OSSA (Ontario Service Safety Alliance). Ms. Mills will be working with the Board of Directors of the newly-created Safe Workplace Promotion Services Ontario to ensure that Ontario’s employers and employees in these sectors have the health and safety programs and services they need. This will be accomplished by reinvesting in front-line activities through an integrated and streamlined service delivery model.
An executive with over 16 years of leadership experience, Elizabeth Mills has been the CEO of the Ontario Service Safety Alliance (OSSA) for more than a decade. In 1997, Elizabeth brought together a coalition of industry trade associations and volunteer organizations to form OSSA. She has been instrumental in building the organization through entrepreneurial leadership, applied business acumen and a commitment to health and safety.
Prior to OSSA, Elizabeth honed her government relations, policy development and operational planning skills working in a variety of senior roles in the not-for-profit and government sectors. She was recognized as a leader and a change agent by colleagues, staff, and stakeholders at a number of organizations including the Retail Council of Canada, the Automotive Parts Manufacturers Association, and the Ministries of the Solicitor General and Government Services. In recognition of her achievements, Elizabeth was nominated for Canada’s Top 40 Under 40 awards program.
