Underground Construction - May 2019 - 29

The convention also had a strong emphasis
on association and industry matters. The
DCA Board of Directors, Leadership Council
and Working Committees all met throughout
the convention.
Daniel Shumate of FMI discussed
upcoming market trends and challenges at
the business session. His in-depth presentation ended with audience discussion about
whether workforce growth can keep up with
demand and the effects of poor public relations for the oil and gas industry. He urged
the audience to remind the public that oil
and gas keep the lights on when the sun's
not out and the wind dies down.
Throughout the convention, awards and
recognitions were given to many members
for their support of the DCA. Jay Osborn
of Primoris Services Corp. and 2018 DCA
president was recognized for his service and
thanked for his leadership. Retiring from the
DCA Board of Directors are: Dale Mykyte,
Pe Ben USA; Pat Michels, Michels Corp. and
