LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CEO
2021 marked GBCA’s 130th year, and I’m extremely proud to say that we are not only one of America’s oldest trade associations, we are also one of the most adaptive. Over the past year, we continued to pivot how we work, but we did not slow down our activities. We continue to lead the way in health and safety, advocate for our members, advance the interests of our industry, and raise the bar for commercial construction in Greater Philadelphia. Our members fuel our ability to consistently reach new heights, and GBCA is committed to providing our member companies with ever-growing value. The success of our 2021 initiatives showcases this commitment in action. We successfully negotiated collective bargaining agreements with all seven of our trade partners. We increased access to high-quality educational programming – including training on the critically important topic of diversity, equity, and inclusion – with our new Learning

Despite the evolving challenges of COVID-19, GBCA has continued to drive advancements that support our member companies and, importantly, the industry at large. My first year as Chairman of GBCA’s Board of Directors has been marked by many bright spots that embody our collective work to build an even stronger industry. This is especially true when it comes to workforce development – one of our key priorities. Our Construction Leadership Council (CLC) has done more than ever to help build a leadership pipeline, with its CLC Coffee Chats and Casual Conversations connecting and engaging young professionals and emerging talent.
Inclusive Industry” online training is a huge step forward in fostering more diverse and inclusive workplace cultures. This is just one of many valuable resources hosted on our new online Learning Management System, which streamlines access to trusted educational content. While these efforts provide clear value for all of us today, they are also the foundation to support innovation, generations of new construction leaders, and the future of our great industry. MICHAEL K. ARMENTO Chairman of the Board General Building Contractors Association
Our Carpenters’ Apprentice Ready Program (CARP), which provides more Philadelphians access to apprenticeship opportunities, also had a banner year, with signatory contractors sponsoring 100% of program graduates. Additionally, we launched two major initiatives that will enhance ongoing learning among construction professionals and ultimately keep our industry strong for years to come. Our “Building a More
