ABC LEADERSHIP/BOARD PARTICIPATION OFFERS UNIQUE PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES

ABC's Board of Directors is comprised of equal representation of contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and associate members. All Board members have an equal voice and work hard to share perspectives, establish consensus and lead ABC. Each year through the natural progression of Officers and Directors, a couple of vacancies need to be filled. It is important the Nominations Committee makes members aware of the nominations process and request any member who may be interested in serving on ABC's Board of Directors to contact the Chapter Office. We can provide further information with details about the process and the commitment and responsibilities to interested members. If you would like information about participation as an ABC leader,  please contact Mark Holden, [email protected], 603-496-3878 . Your interest in leadership will be appreciated and is important to the continued success of ABC.
 
All past and present board members provide their unique perspective and valuable insight to the leadership process, and they have all received common benefits from their participation as industry leaders. For a summary of comments about their experience as ABC leaders Click Here
