Underground Construction - February 2019 - 19

in 2020. The original LDP series - six, one-day modules delivered
by FMI each year at the convention to improve the business acumen and performance of PCCA member companies - will finish in
March in St. Kitts with a session on Strategic Thinking and Organizational Change. PCCA decided to restart the series in 2020 and
keep rotating through it so that people can jump in at any time.
The other modules in the series are Leadership Overview, Executive Communication, Financial Management, Negotiating Skills,
and Client Relationships. PCCA and FMI are working to develop
a senior-level executive training program, which will take place at
PCCA Mid-Year Meetings.
The 2018 PCCA Mid-Year Meeting drew more than 150 association members and their families to Southampton, Bermuda, in
September. The meeting included sessions on crisis leadership and
navigating the new tax law, roundtables on education and government affairs, and plenty of time for socializing. The Construction
Industry Roundtable featured frank discussions on a variety of
challenges facing the industry, including damage prevention. CGA
Secretary Josh Heinrichs, ELM Companies, provided insights into
the underground utility locating industry and discussed ways to
improve the process, including training/certification, better retention of locating technicians, and engagement with excavators.
