LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Building capacity means ensuring that our workforce has pathways to success – and to become leaders if they choose. One of my goals as GBCA’s Chairman of the Board is to build up and support our younger and emerging construction professionals. These are the individuals who will become the next generation of leaders in our industry.

At GBCA, we are proud to have a robust and active Construction Leadership Council (CLC) and a full slate of leadership development opportunities for young and emerging employees of member companies. This year, the CLC has held many events, including virtual coffee chats with notable industry leaders, networking events, and our annual CLC Day of Service.

It’s exciting to see so many of our younger and emerging construction professionals getting involved and seeking connections with their peers through GBCA. Our events allow them to form and maintain strong relationships. These relationships will help them lead and build community in the industry for years to come, as well as contribute to this great city that we call home.

Giving back, in particular, is one of the most important causes that we can champion not only as an industry, but as a community of people who are invested in the region and want to see it thrive. We are more than our jobs. We are part of the fabric of Philadelphia, and we are committed to supporting our neighbors and our young leaders as they shape the future of construction.

Sincerely,

Michael K. Armento

Chairman of the Board, GBCA Senior Vice President, Torcon, Inc.
