Future Executives Committee

Whether it's touring an apprenticeship training center or learning about best practices for LinkedIn, the Future Executives Committee always seeks to expand their knowledge, experience and professional network. For their July meeting, the committee took the opportunity to sharpen their knowledge of construction safety procedures.

This month's featured speaker was CEA's Safety Director, Kent Crytzer, who presented an overview of OSHA inspections. He explained what brings OSHA to the jobsite, how to handle an inspection, and the importance of training employees on company protocol. Crytzer also gave an overview of the silica code, which will begin to be enforced on September 23rd. He shared resources that CEA has developed, such as the silica sampling and objective data program, so that contractors can be prepared before enforcement begins. 

Committee members also participated in an interactive survey via text messaging, with real-time results shown on the screen. Questions ranged from office location to ways to give back to the community, to personality type and what they learned from the safety presentation. 

Future Executive Committee members participated in an interactive survey at their most recent meeting.

The Future Executives Committee (FEC) is CEA's next generation of leadership. The FEC was established to fulfill the need to cultivate the next generation of leaders in the construction industry as well as the Association. The FEC acts as a conduit for participants to network, exchange ideas about work and the industry, serve local communities and continuing education which includes both professional development and leadership skills.
