City of London

“I appreciated the opportunity to work with Ron Shaw as he completed a review of our

Government Relations division. Ron managed this review, including interviews with many

interest holders and other municipalities, on time and on budget. I appreciated Ron’s

wisdom and deep municipal expertise in the development of a set of clear

recommendations for a re-envisioned GR division that sets us up for success”. 

Lynne Livingstone, City Manager, City of London.

investStratford 

“Ron Shaw & RS & Associates supported the development and deployment of the Connected & Autonomous Vehicle Project (now known as the Province of Ontario’s Autonomous Vehicle Innovation Network) for investStratford. Mr. Shaw’s stewardship of the project supported the development of stakeholder relationships with both Provincial & Federal Government leads, the Automotive Parts Manufacturers Association and Festival Hydro Incorporated. A project road map was developed complete with deliverables, objectives and timelines. Mr. Shaw’s experience in Municipal management and contract development and the leadership RS & Associates provided was critical to the launch of the project in Stratford.”

 Joani Gerber, CEO of investStratford

Town of Tillsonburg

“I had the pleasure of working with Ron Shaw while he acted as the Town’s interim Chief Administrative Officer. During our time of transition, Ron took it upon himself to better understand our operations and then jumped in feet first. Ron acted as a mentor to our senior leadership team, while providing guidance and helping to instill confidence among the group. The valuable strategic insight he offered to senior leadership was utilized during major projects, throughout the 2020 business plans, and day to day operations. He enabled employees to make independent decisions, but was always more than willing to listen and provide constructive feedback when requested. He was well respected by Council, members of the public, and staff. Ron’s leadership was invaluable, and although his time with us was short, the positive impact he had will definitely be long lasting!” 

Ashley Andrews, Manager of Human Resources, Town of Tillsonburg

Association Leadership

“Ron is a `born leader’. He is bright, astute, energetic, pragmatic, caring, courteous, a great listener, sensitive, attentive to detail, flexible, respected. The OMAA made great strides during his time on the Board and, in particular, during his presidency.” 

Dennis Y. Perlin, Former Solicitor, Town of Oakville. 

“I was always very impressed by the ease with which you chaired the OMAA Board meetings and the ability to build consensus in a quiet calm manner. I believe that the Board and organization achieved so much under your leadership and continuing advice as past president with it all done in such an efficient non-controversial way.”
