The Ontario Association of Architects (OAA) is pleased to introduce Nedra Brown, as the new OAA Registrar.

“We are pleased to have Nedra on board and welcome her to the OAA,” says OAA President, Sheena Sharp. Nedra has been in the office since this summer and has been working with Hillel Roebuck and the staff of the Office of the Registrar.

Nedra has extensive legal experience as a senior manager in a self-governing professional association. She was most recently Policy Counsel for Legal Aid Ontario.  For seven years prior, she was Director of Sections & Committees at the State Bar of Arizona.

Nedra returned to Canada in 2009. She is a graduate of Osgoode Hall Law School and is a member of the Law Society of Upper Canada.

Nedra is taking over for Hillel Roebuck, OAA Registrar Emeritus, who announced his retirement earlier this year. Mr. Roebuck has been working with Nedra during the past several months; he will continue to assist with the transition until December 31, 2011.

“I look forward to meeting the members,” says Nedra Brown, OAA Registrar, “I am happy to hear from members if they have questions or any concerns.” Nedra can be e-mailed at nedrab@oaa.on.ca, or call her at 416-449-6898, ext. 227.
