“As the fourth woman to serve the association in this role, I am honored to lead ABC to deliver value to our members, prioritize safety and total human health, and elevate inclusion, diversity, and equity, all to prioritize fair and open competition and to invest in and develop our most valuable asset — our people,” Schmidt said. “ABC’s team mentality is a distinguishing aspect of this association: We can be the fiercest of competitors in the field, but we unite as one for ABC, the merit shop, and the betterment of our entire industry and the 7.4 million individuals it employs. I look forward to leading our team and our industry toward a brighter future.”
“The leadership and institutional knowledge that the ABC Executive Committee brings to our 21,000 member companies will further advance an industry that builds the places where we work, play, worship, learn, and heal,” said Michael Bellaman, ABC President and Chief Executive Officer. “It is an honor to work alongside Stephanie and our 2022 elected leaders to continue to strengthen fair and open competition, ensure contractors win work based on merit, and create the conditions for all workers in the construction industry to thrive.”
