LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Delaware Contracting Community,
I consider it an honor to serve you as the Delaware Contractors Association’s President for the next two years. To take on a role held by some of the greatest and most talented in our industry is a true privilege. My goal is not to broaden the strong foundation already built by the wonderful people before me, but rather to strengthen the engagement between the Association and its members, and deepen the discussions of issues affecting all of us in the contracting community.
Through supporting our Executive Director, Mr. Bryon Short, as well as DCA’s staff, Board of Directors and committee members, each of us is crucial in helping our association advocate for the betterment of the industry, train and educate our current and future workforce, and network within our community to further strengthen valuable relationships.
I look forward to productive years that see us all presented with opportunities to prosper, grow, and continue to give back to our wonderful Delaware community. With your support, you will allow the Delaware Contractors Association to continue to bring a voice of strength and unity to the construction industry in Delaware while holding a steadfast commitment to excellence.
Please always feel free to reach out with any questions, concerns, or comments, and do not forget to check out DCA’s website and social media accounts for all current opportunities and upcoming events.
Respectfully,
John A. Everhart
