As Annual Conference Approaches, Meet Incoming President Ed Bernard

(April 13, 2022) - In just two weeks, Ed Bernard will accept the gavel from Kevin Johnston at the SC&RA Annual Conference and begin his post as president of the Association for the coming year. It’s a professional achievement that Bernard doesn’t take lightly. Currently president at Ontario-based Precision Specialized Inc., Bernard was born in Toronto, but grew up in Prince Edward Island along the East Coast of Canada. Like so many SC&RA members, his early influences were two hard-working parents – particularly his truck-driving father.

A love of trucking and logistics eventually found Bernard in a truck of his own, which itself became a company that would go on to win four SC&RA Hauling Jobs of the Year. Along the way, Bernard has become a staple at SC&RA meetings and a key figure within the Association’s volunteer leadership circles. Quick to listen and offer feedback, and even quicker to share a laugh and a handshake, Bernard’s path to the SC&RA presidency has been built on a foundation of hard work, mutual respect and shared experience. He sat down with ACT recently to discuss his journey and how it has led to a place that embodies the significance of both his professional accomplishments and his personal successes. Read more.
