LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
2022 has been a busy and productive year for GBCA and our members. We continued to stabilize and strengthen our industry while COVID-19 was still looming over us, and as we close out the year, the impact of our work is clear. To state it simply, we refused to let the pandemic steer us off course. In true GBCA fashion, we rose to the occasion by setting the industry standard for health and safety, and worked vigorously to help our members reclaim their lives, both personally and professionally.
This year we hosted a record number of events, trainings, and activities – including our annual Construction Excellence Awards ceremony, Construction Technology Expo, and numerous Safety and Construction Leadership Council events. These are just a few of the many happenings highlighted in this issue of Construction Today.
These educational and networking events are essential to building a thriving industry. They are where ideas are exchanged, where innovation is sparked, and where relationships are built. We’re extremely proud of how these offerings are supporting commercial construction throughout Greater Philadelphia.
GBCA and our members are leading Philadelphia forward. Doing so requires teamwork, which is why this issue also features insights on how to be an effective leader for your team, your company, and, ultimately, our city.
Together, we’re building a stronger Philadelphia.
Together, we’re building our future.
Benjamin J. Connors, Esq., CAE
President & CEO
General Building Contractors Association
