CCA Partner Association
The CCA Partner Association Award of Excellence was created in 1992 in memory of Jake Thygesen. The award recognizes CCA integrated partner associations who have demonstrated outstanding leadership in industry enhancement (through lobbying, government relations, etc.), education and member recruitment.
During his year as CCA Chair, Jake Thygesen was a firm believer in the association’s success being directly linked to the success of its individual partner associations.

Vancouver Regional Construction Association
More than a thousand companies are building the future of the Lower Mainland—and they all look to one leader: the Vancouver Regional Construction Association.
In 2025, VRCA didn’t simply represent the construction industry—it redefined what a modern, member-driven association can be.
What sets VRCA apart is its evolution into an association built for tomorrow—one that listens to its members, leads with confidence, and delivers results that extend beyond advocacy through a solutions-focused approach powered by data, storytelling, and direct member engagement.
By aligning government, industry, workforce development, and public perception under a single, strategic vision, VRCA has demonstrated what it means to be a true partner to the construction community.
