Andrea Grebenc, a passionate advocate for her community, is now seeking to serve Burlington as the Ontario Liberal Party\u2019s nominee for the next provincial election. Her extensive leadership experience, deep community roots, and hands-on approach to public service make her an ideal candidate to represent Burlington residents.<\/p>\n
Andrea was elected and served two terms as School Board Trustee for Wards 3 & 6 in Burlington and was elected as Chair of the Halton District School Board, leading the board from 2018 to 2021. Overseeing one of Ontario\u2019s largest school boards, she helped govern a system with more than 100 facilities, approximately 10,000 staff, and 66,000 students with an $850 million annual operating budget. During the pandemic, Andrea demonstrated exceptional leadership, guiding the board through the unprecedented challenges faced by the education system.<\/p>\n
Andrea\u2019s connection to Burlington spans over 70 years, beginning when her family settled in the city after her father arrived as a refugee from the former Yugoslavia. She attended local schools, graduating from St. Mark CES and Lester B. Pearson HS, and later earned her Honours Bachelor of Science degree from Wilfrid Laurier University and Adult Education certificate from Conestoga College. Recently she acquired an ISC2 \u201cCertified in Cybersecurity\u201d qualification. Her commitment to lifelong learning has been a driving force throughout her career.<\/p>\n
A successful entrepreneur, Andrea founded an IT consulting business in 1999 that focuses on eLearning, web design, and software training. Her business continues to support organizations with innovative solutions. As an educator, she has shared her expertise at McMaster University\u2019s Centre for Continuing Education, teaching web design and development and helping with program development for over two decades.<\/p>\n
Andrea\u2019s dedication to public service was further highlighted in her 2022 campaign for Halton Regional Chair, where she garnered an impressive 20,000 votes, demonstrating the trust and support she has earned from the community.<\/p>\n
Her involvement extends beyond education, as she currently serves on the Burlington Integrated Transportation Advisory Committee and is a member of the steering committee for the Appleby Line Street Festival, contributing to the vibrancy and connectivity of the community.<\/p>\n
As a mother of three, with her youngest still in the public education system, Andrea is acutely aware of the importance of quality public education, public healthcare, transportation, and affordable housing in building a strong community now and for the future. She is known for her problem-solving skills, collaborative spirit, and consultative approach, embodying the qualities of a servant-leader.<\/p>\n
Andrea Grebenc is ready to bring her diverse experience, passion, and vision to represent Burlington as the Ontario Liberal Party\u2019s candidate.\u00a0 Join Andrea in this journey to make Burlington an even better place to live, work, and thrive.<\/p>\n
