Fall 2019 Graduation
BRTC FALL 2019 GRADUATION YOU HAVE TO EARN IT JANUARY 23, L’AUBERGE BATON ROUGE Images by Eye Wander Photo
“These guys and gals have earned what they came to school for.” the graduates. Guidry is a former student of and instructor for our Baton Rouge Training Center.
Kelly Carpenter, ABC Pelican’s Director of Education, spoke these words as ABC Pelican staff, instructors, members, family and friends came together to celebrate 156 craft professionals for completing craft training courses with our Baton Rouge Training Center last semester.
ABC Pelican’s students graduated in electrical (11), heavy equipment (4), millwright (13), mobile crane (19), instrumentation (11), pipefitting (7), project supervision (16), site safety (12) and welding (63), and the skill sets these craft professionals have earned are in high demand.
“Construction makes up an impressive 13 percent of the employment in our region and the projected demand for skilled craft professionals is up in our area,” said David Helveston, President and CEO of the Pelican Chapter of the Associated Builders and Contractors. “ABC Pelican proudly prepares craft students like these 156 graduates with both book knowledge and hands-on experience to ensure the workforce meets the demand of our industry.”
Wes Mincin with Triad Electric & Controls welcomed the crowd, thanked the families and friends for attending and touted some impressive stats about the Fall 2019 class, including its 76 percent retention rate and the eight students that would be representing ABC Pelican at the National Craft Championships in Nashville in March.
Steve Bomar with Performance Contractors then led the audience in a moving prayer and pledge. Mincin then returned to the stage to introduce the guest speaker.
Carlos Guidry, 2020 ABC Pelican Chairman and Senior Vice President of Construction at Turner Industries, delivered keynote remarks to
Guidry learned about ABC Pelican by asking his supervisor how he could become a planner. “You gotta go to ABC,” was the response that had a lasting impact on Guidry. After exceling in the planning and estimating class, Guidry was presented with the opportunity to be an instructor for the training center.
“I became a teacher because it was a way to give back.” After teaching at ABC, Guidry’s career at Turner offered him some incredible opportunities, but he had to work for each one.
Guidry also encouraged the graduates to remember these keys to success, wherever their career path takes them: •Get to work early. •Don’t watch the clock at the end of the day. •Check yourself before you finish a task. •If you don’t have anything to do, go find something to do. •Follow through.
Ten of ABC Pelican’s Fall 2019 graduates are women, one of which is Tannah McAlister of Independence, LA. McAlister, 21, is a PALA employee who received her Mobile crane and rigging certifications through ABC Pelican. This past fall, McAlister scored the highest on her final exam in Mobile crane.
“ABC Pelican’s Baton Rouge Training Center, the staff and the instructors have done more for me than words can express,” McAlister recounted. “Through ABC Pelican’s education and PALA’s opportunities, I have accepted job positions just this YEAR that I envisioned would take me YEARS to achieve. My hope is that this certification will lead to my DREAM career of working as an ExxonMobil employee.”
Another ABC Pelican student who has been a craft professional since he was 18 is Baton Rouge native Benjamin Noble. “Big Ben,” as his friends and family call him, completed craft courses with us last year and is now an electrician with Triad Electric & Controls. Noble, 36, began his career as a craft professional right after high school as a welder’s helper.
Noble then became a truck driver for eight years. “This was something I wanted to do since I was a little kid but driving a big truck can be intimidating to those who haven’t done it. Then one day, I saw an elderly woman hop out of the driver’s side of a truck, and she instantly boosted my confidence.”
To this day, Noble is proud of his driving experiences. Searching for a new craft to master, Noble enrolled in electrical classes at BRCC. After he completed the second course, he earned a job with Triad. Triad then sponsored him to complete the third and final electrical courses at ABC Pelican. Noble applauds his mentors at Triad for encouraging him to finish the program because he now knows the electrical trade and takes home a bigger paycheck.
At this graduation, Noble was recognized for completing NCCER’s Construction Site Safety Technician program, and he believes his learning is not complete yet.
Guidry echoed those thoughts at the ceremony by saying: “This is just the beginning for you.”
Everything that we do is based on our performance;
it’s our namesake and our crowning jewel. We hang our hat on a
good, safe day’s work and our ability to execute jobs at the highest
level. By raising the bar and driving the standard of our industry
forward, we’ve made a career out of changing what it means to be
an industrial contractor.
YOUNG PROFESSIONALS GROUP UPDATE 1/24TH OF A SECOND It takes 1/24th of a second to make an impression on someone. BY: KATIE ROUTH, DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATION FEBRUARY 12, MID-CITY BEER GARDEN, BATON ROUGE
About 50 ABC Pelican Young Professionals learned this and much more from LSU personal branding guru and LSU Marketing Professor Dr Tommy Karam as they met for the first time of the decade. Dr. Karam has educated countless LSU student athletes, including Shaquille O’Neal and Joe Burrow, and LSU coaches learn and perfect their media presence and default look. Dr. Karam shared some of those best practices and tips with the future leaders of our industry.

YOUNG PROFESSIONALS GROUP UPDATE continued To kick off the gathering on Government Street, Immediate Past-Chair Donn Peterson with GROUP Industries welcome the YPs and encourage them to be aware of our current political environment and the Fall elections. Peterson explained how the YPs could contribute to an ABC PAC. 2020 Chair of the YP Group for ABC Pelican is John Freeman with Brown & Root Industrial Services. Freeman thanked each YP for joining the group and explained the upcoming volunteer opportunities and events ABC Pelican is providing the YPs, including Touch A Truck, Day at the Capitol and ABC-LA Legislative Reception. Freeman also announced the details of a new YP event for 2020: a dodgeball tournament! young student athlete came to his office and asked for help in speaking in public. “That’s the time I met Shaquille O’Neal.” Personal branding is what people think of when they think about you. “That’s it!” Dr. Karam said. “And likeability is the emotional impact you have on someone.” He went on to emphasize that vocal delivery, and not eye contact is crucial to your likeability. The default look you have is important because people do not read hearts during that 1/24th of a second first impression. “We figure out the default look of every athlete and head coach at LSU and help them tweak it.”
Freeman then recognized his 2020 executive committee, including Josh Zumo with Cajun Industries, Lance Arvel with Baker Gulf Coast Industrial, Katherine Carver with EXCEL Group, Jeff Romig with Barriere Construction Company, Derek Foret with Hannis T. Bourgeois, Adam Landry with Great River Industries and Brian Hooks with Triad Electric and Controls. Hooks then encouraged the YPs to mentor an LSU Construction Management student as they prepare for the National CM Competition in Nashville next month.
Before introducing the guest speaker, ABC Pelican Chapter President David Helveston reinforced Peterson’s remarks during the kick-off: “PAC is your method to get involved.”
“You must get involved in politics, and a prime example of this is the recent US House passage of bills like the PRO Act, which changes the very fabric of the way this industry operates,” Helveston remarked.
Helveston then welcomed Dr. Karam, remembering the professor as one of his favorites during his time at the university. “We have much to learn from the man who makes sure LSU’s student athletes look great in front of a camera and in front of the media.”
Dr. Karam had the opportunity to watch LSU Quarterback Joe Burrow give his Heisman speech in New York. “It started out rocky but ended up being one of the best because of his tone and authenticity.”
He wrapped his remarks by comparing warmth and competency. “Every academic study says warmth trumps every time.”
This impressive group and speakers set the tone for a great year ahead. Thanks to everyone who joined us!
Women in Construction week 2020 Women totaled more than half of U.S. payroll jobs last December, just the second time women have outnumbered men in the workforce, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Yet while women made up just a fraction of the construction workforce at nearly 10% in 2018, that number is on the rise. In particular, we have seen an influx of women in craft professional roles, increasing from 3% of the workforce to 12% between 2013 and 2018, according to ABC’s 2019 Workforce Development Survey. We are proudly educating 82 women this semester in craft and technical courses across both of our campuses. A recent mobile crane graduate is Tannah McAllister, who scored the highest on her final exam in the course. CELEBRATING THE WOMEN IN OUR INDUSTRY MARCH 1-7
That’s because construction offers numerous career opportunities with competitive salaries—especially compared to other industries. While women in the U.S. workforce earn an average of 81.1% of what their male counterparts make, the gender pay gap in the construction sector is signifyingly smaller, with women earning an average of 99.1% compared to men.
During the first week of March, the country celebrated Women in Construction Week to amplify the women who chose a career in construction and the successes of those women in this industry. ABC Pelican highlighted some of our women members and craft students to bring to life the stories of women in our chapter and industry.
Tammy Corripio, Workforce Development Coordinator with Primoris Services Corporation, serves as a 2020 board member. Corripio is influential in the education and training of craft professionals at her company and brings those experiences to ABC Pelican as a board member.
“As a training coordinator, I have the opportunity to directly interact with our workforce and aid in their growth professionally and within the company,” said Corripio. “It is what I love most about my job.” McAlister first learned about ABC Pelican through her PALA colleagues in her current job at ExxonMobil in Baton Rouge. The three certifications she received through ABC Pelican have helped accelerate her career in construction “at a pace quicker than I ever imagined.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 20
Olivia Habetz, a student at Hathaway High School, won first place at the Louisiana FFA District 9 craft competition, hosted at ABC Pelican’s Southwest campus in February. Before she competed in the Area 3 competition, we brought Habetz on local tv to share her perspective as a young woman in the industry. She was the only woman to compete in the electrical category of the District 9 competition. Women in Construction week 2020 CONTinued
She began electrical work in her 9th grade in ag class. Habetz realized early on she was good at the craft, as did her ag teacher, because he informed her about the craft competitions. Habetz said she finds the craft to be a good hobby & has plans to pursue electrical work after high school.
There is no better time to start a construction career, especially as Associated Builders and Contractors estimated 440,000 jobs needed to be filled in 2019 alone just to meet construction backlog. At ABC Pelican, we are committed to recruiting and upskilling women so we can continue to develop the most capable workforce and industry.

COVID-19: FAQs FOR YOU AND YOUR BUSINESS BY: ATTORNEYS WITH BREAZEALE, SACHSE & WILSON, L.L.P. GENERAL INFORMATION Is my business required to shut down because of the statewide Stay-at-Home order issued by Governor John Bel Edwards? The Stay at Home order issued by Governor Edwards on March 22, 2020 provides that all individuals within the State of Louisiana are under a general stay-at-home order, and are directed to stay home “unless performing an essential activity.” The Proclamation lists “essential” activities, including obtaining food, medicine and similar goods, as well as going to and from an individual’s workplace to perform a job function deemed as essential workplace functions. Essential workplaces include those providing food, medicine and similar goods, as well as non-elective medical care and similar vital services. Additional guidance as to what constitutes “essential” workplaces can be found at www.cisa.gov. The Proclamation further closes all state office buildings to the public, as well as all places of public amusement, including parks, aquariums, museums, playgrounds, concert venues and other similar businesses. All personal care and grooming businesses are also closed. See Proclamation Number JBE 2020-33, March 22, 2020, by Governor John Bel Edwards, for more information. Is my small business eligible for COVID-19 business aid? Yes, small businesses in all 64 Louisiana parishes are eligible to apply for federal Small Business Administration disaster aid in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis. Small businesses can visit www.SBA.gov/Disaster to begin the application process. Louisiana Economic Development is also offering an online guide regarding the assistance available for impacted businesses on its website at www. OpportunityLouisiana.com. Economic Injury Disaster Loans may include up to $2 million in assistance per small business, and may be structured with long-term repayments up to a maximum of 30 years in certain cases. What are the requirements regarding employee emergency leave for child care? Under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (HR 6201) signed by the President, which takes effect as of April 2, 2020, employers with fewer than 500 employees must provide both paid and unpaid public health emergency leave to certain employees through December 31, 2020. Generally, this emergency leave is available when an employee (employed for at least 30 days) is unable to work or telework due to the need to care for a son or daughter under the age of 18 because a school, place of care or childcare has been closed or is otherwise unavailable due to the COVID-19 emergency as declared by federal, state or local authorities. The first 10 days of leave may be unpaid, and then paid leave is required. Compensation for such leave is calculated based on an amount not less than two-thirds of the employee’s regular rate of pay, and the number of hours the employee would otherwise normally be scheduled to work, not to exceed $200 per day and $10,000 in the aggregate. Certain conditions, exemptions, exceptions and special rules apply, and a tax credit may be available. For more information, see Division C of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act. What are the rules regarding employee emergency paid sick leave? Under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (HR 6201) signed by the President, which takes effect as of April 2, 2020, employers with fewer than 500 employees, and public employers of any size, must provide 80 hours of paid sick leave to full-time employees who are unable to work or telework for specific reasons related to the COVID-19 virus. Additionally, such employers must provide part-time employees with sick leave based on their average hours worked over a two week period. Note that employers are prohibited from requiring employees to find a replacement worker or use other sick time before this sick leave. For more information, see Division E of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act. Can I ask an employee to leave work or stay home if they show symptoms of the coronavirus? Yes, you are permitted to request that an employee leave work or stay at home if they show symptoms of the coronavirus. In a recent release from the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the EEOC asserts that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) does not conflict with employers following the advice of the Center for Disease Control (CDC) advising employees who become ill with symptoms of COVID-19 to leave the workplace. The EEOC has indicated that an ADA-covered employer may take the body temperature of employees during the COVID-19 pandemic as a precautionary measure. See What You Should Know About the ADA, the Rehabilitation Act, and COVID-19, March 19, 2020, from the EEOC (www.eeoc.gov/eeoc/newsroom) for more information.

PANDEMIC OR NOT, THE MERIT SHOP CHOOSES SAFETY & SERVICE COVER STORY SPRING 2020 BY ERIKA WALTER, COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR The first quarter of the new decade has brought our world, our country, our community and our industry unprecedented uncertainty because of the coronavirus pandemic.
We are grappling with a new reality in our homes, workplaces, churches and social lives and this new reality hit us hard and fast. As we beat COVID-19, we are in quarantine and standing six feet apart; we are working remotely and shifting schedules and on video conference calls; we are taking temperatures and washing hands and not touching our face and disinfecting everything around us.
Yet in times of crisis or no crisis, we have seen and are continuing to see that ABC Pelican Members are choosing to prioritize safety and service because it’s in our DNA.
“Priorities do not waiver for our industry, especially in times of uncertainty,” remarked David Helveston, President and CEO of ABC Pelican, after countless conference calls and emails with membership. “Our members evaluate and mitigate risks every day on and off the job site. As information surrounding the coronavirus evolves at a rapid pace, our member companies are keeping safety in the forefront of every decision they make and are adapting on a case-by-case basis while following the recommendations issued by CDC and local officials.”
Some methods of implementing safety that we’ve seen in our member companies in the past month include: •requiring temperature checks before employees enter job sites or office space •offering paid leave if the employee is exhibiting symptoms or feeling sick •shifting schedules to separate people on job sites and lower the headcounts on the job •establishing social distancing measures for lunch breaks and job site transportation •postponing non-critical, non-essential projects •limiting business travel •constantly communicating changes and updates with

employees •reinforcing and requiring work-from-home policies
Commitment to achieving safety in times like these or even under normal circumstances is a difficult process, involving leadership commitment, employee engagement, company culture transformation and implementation of processes. However, that commitment to safety is worth it, because there is no greater duty for ABC Pelican members than to keep their employees safe.
As we have seen in this first quarter of 2020, our motto of “safety first, last and always” resounds even more loudly today for ABC members than it did nearly 70 years ago.
“My hope is that this motto remains the watchword for our members and any workplace across the nation for generations to come,” Helveston said. “No matter the time of day, week or year, no priority is higher than safety on a jobsite, because every employee deserves to return home safely and without injury at the end of the workday, especially in times like these.”
The resounding motto of safety, plus guidance from local officials, is one of the reasons the fifth annual Touch A Truck was cancelled, an event in which ABC Pelican was the premier partner and many of our members had planned to participate and serve our community.
We would like to recognize and thank the more than 30 ABC Pelican member companies who had planned to join us and more than 10,000 Louisianans on the Baton Rouge Fairgrounds on March 21 for this one-day experience that gives children and their families an up-close look at trucks, equipment and machinery to encourage their consideration of careers in construction and industry. These nearly 35 members were to participate in the fifth annual Touch A Truck in the form of demonstrations, equipment, food donations:
27 www.abcpelican.org/newsletter 24 Hour Safety, Ace Enterprises, Angelle Materials, Ardaman & Associates, Barriere Construction, Baton Rouge General, Beard Construction, Bengal Crane & Rigging, Bottom Line Equipment, Cajun Industries, Champion Graphics, Doggett Machinery, Emergent Method, Emery Equipment, Eustis Engineering, EXCEL, Five-S Group, Glenco Equipment, GROUP Industries, H&E Equipment, ISC Constructors, JPS Equipment, Louisiana CAT, MMR Group, Performance Contractors, Primoris Services, Quality Concrete, Rene Industries, Sochem Solutions, T Baker Smith, Trade Construction, Turner Industries, United Rentals and Wood Group.
Thank you to each of these companies who invested time and resources in this community event. We hope that you’ll consider joining us for the next Touch A Truck!
Another foundational pillar of this association is service, which is one of the reasons why Touch A Truck is such a rewarding way for our members to give back to the community we build. Prior to the safety and health concerns created by the rapid spread of COVID-19, ABC Pelican and Junior League of Baton Rouge were able to host two Touch A Truck preview events for children with communication disabilities and children in the hospital.
In February, Junior League of Baton Rouge, ABC Pelican, Turner Industries and Angelle Materials held an event for students at The Emerge Center, a local educational institution that offers hope and possibilities to children and families facing a diagnosis of autism or communication challenges.
In early March, we were greeted with smiles at Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Health as we held another Touch A Truck preview event with Turner and Angelle for some wonderful patients and their parents. Carlos Guidry, Senior VP of Construction with Turner Industries and 2020 Chair of ABC Pelican, attended both mini Touch A Truck events.
CONTINUED ON PAGE 28 “Our crew found it incredibly rewarding to help and watch these children and their caregivers interact with the equipment in a familiar and safe environment,” Guidry said. “For many of them, this was their first time to see, hear and experience heavy equipment.”
COVER STORY SPRING 2020 continued Just because our members could not serve the public at Touch A Truck this year, does not mean they have not been actively serving our community, and those who need it most, during the spread of COVID-19. ABC Pelican Member companies like Gulf Coast Occupational Medicine, Turner Industries, Bengal Crane & Rigging, Great River Industries, B&H Distributors, Brown & Root Industrial Services and many others have donated construction supplies to area hospitals like the Baton Rouge General, Our Lady of the Lake Health System, Ochsner and Woman’s Hospital. Because of ABC Pelican’s strong relationships with the local health care systems, we were able to spread the word about the critical need of these supplies so that our health care providers could continue testing for COVID-19 and treating patients safely. The following items have been collected and donated to support our local health care providers: •Safety glasses •Nitrile Gloves •Any type of mask “Our health care providers are the true heroes in this war on COVID-19 and it has been rewarding to give back to them when, in the past, they are the ones who serve and give to our industry,” Helveston said. “Thank you to each of our companies who answered the call to donate any and all items that they could during this time.”
