Our Board of Directors

The Ottawa Board of Trade (OBoT) is the primary independent Voice for Business in Ottawa, representing the interests of all local businesses of every size and every sector. We are an independent, non-partisan, non-profit organization with a mandate to create prosperity through advocacy, collaboration and leadership.

Our Board of Directors is uniquely positioned to impact community prosperity by focusing on advocacy, economic development and strategic initiatives. Elected (or re-elected) in 2020, the current Board works with our many community partners, all three levels of government and local businesses for a post-pandemic economic rebound, followed by community prosperity for all.

Businesses benefit directly through membership services that reduce barriers, save costs, promote and develop leaders, and influence policy making decisions locally, provincially and nationally.
