CONTRACTORS OF

AMERICA (LICA) EDUCATIONAL

FOUNDATION FOR VETERANS was established in 2021 and, more recently, in spring 2022, named Eddy S. Mayen its executive director to help lead its cause.

Over the last handful of months, Mayen has helped the foundation with its mission: training military veterans to become highly-skilled, heavy equipment operators in the construction industry.

“Eddy is a great communicator and uniquely qualified to take on this leadership role on behalf of the foundation,” said Gerald Biuso, LICA founder. “I first became acquainted with him through the New Jersey chapter of LICA. Not only is he a military veteran; he also has worked extensively in grant-writing and has experience in land improvement.”

Mayen, who is a veteran of the U.S. Army, enlisted as an active duty artillery soldier and then served in the New Jersey National Guard, where he achieved the rank of 1st Lieutenant, is well suited for his role.

“My role as executive director of the LICA Educational Foundation for Veterans isn’t just a job, it’s a personal mission,” said Mayen. “I immigrated to the U.S. as a child and I want my children to understand how good this country is, how important it is to me. What’s been remarkable thus far is discovering just how dedicated LICA members are to helping veterans. I’m proud to be a part of the foundation.

“In the military, there is no such thing as light equipment,” Mayen added. “It’s a natural career move for veterans to transition to the heavy equipment industry. They’re accustomed to working independently while being part of a team and have already been thoroughly trained to follow instructions, pay attention to detail, be great problem-solvers and constantly safetyconscious.”

The foundation works with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to identify candidates to participate in a comprehensive equipment training program. The curriculum includes simulator training on heavy equipment operation and safety protocols before advancing to field training that will be provided by LICA contractors, equipment dealers and subcontractors.
