CONGRATULATIONS TO JULIE BRANDLE
 
Akron Rotarian, PDG Julie Brandle has been elected Board Chair of the Associated Builders and Contractors, Northern Ohio Chapter.  ABC has long been a champion for merit shop construction, workforce development, and the values that keep our industry strong. 
 
Brandle shared “to be trusted with this leadership role is deeply meaningful to me. As I step into this position, my primary focus will be Total Human Health — a holistic approach to the well-being of our people that includes physical safety, mental health, emotional resilience, and financial stability.”  
 
She added “construction is built by people. When our workforce is healthy, supported, and equipped to thrive, our companies are stronger, our projects are safer, and our communities benefit. Over the coming year, I look forward to working with our members, partners, and leadership team to expand resources, education, and conversations that support the whole person — not just the job they perform. Thank you to the ABC Northern Ohio Board and membership for the confidence they have placed in me, as well as all of the work they have done building this chapter as one of the premier chapters nationwide. I’m excited to serve, lead, and help shape a healthier future for our industry."   To learn more https://lnkd.in/gEzZGFMt
