The WRLA bids farewell to Events & Trade Show Manager Krista Scherpenzeel
 
   
After five years of working for the WRLA, Krista Scherpenzeel has made the decision to pursue a new career opportunity. Most recently, Krista managed the Buying Show in January – the WRLA’s biggest event of the year that brings together thousands of our members under one roof.

"For the past five and a half years I’ve had the pleasure of connecting the Building Supply Industry by organizing WRLA events in western Canada. I’d like to personally thank all our members and service providers for making my time with the association so enjoyable! I wish you all the very best, and hope that our paths cross again in the future." - Krista Scherpenzeel

We congratulate Krista on her successes with us and wish her all the best for the opportunity she is about to embark on. 

Friday March 2 is Krista's last day.
