EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE
Growth, Change
and Challenge Bring
Opportunity
By Frank Peters, Executive Director, PDCA
These are exciting times in the construction industry.
The economy is robust and construction jobs are plentiful.
These are also exciting times for the Pile Driving
Contractors Association as many changes have taken place this
year, new initiatives are being started and efforts are being made to
grow the association. These are exciting times indeed.
Nearly 25 years ago, the association came together to represent
the pile driving industry. The visionaries who started PDCA had in
mind that the organization would “Promote the driven pile as the
preferred deep foundation solution.” This vision would be further
expanded in the PDCA mission statement, which is to “Effectively
communicate the benefits of the driven pile through education
and continuous improvement of methods, material and equipment
to the industry.”
In an effort to continue this great legacy to represent the pile
driving industry, the PDCA Board of Directors met earlier this year
to craft the 2019 PDCA Strategic Plan. The result is a roadmap
that has guided the association efforts and includes three major
components: Education; Membership; Visibility. We are pleased
to provide the following update on the 2019 PDCA Strategic Plan.
Education is the first item in the 2019 PDCA Strategic Plan and
a major plank in the PDCA vision and mission statements, and

Help build visibility for PDCA…
The mantra is Forward, Like,
Share, Post. When you receive
an email with information
about PDCA activities,
forward it to others in your
company. Likewise, when you
see something from PDCA
on social media, “Like” it,
“Share” it and “Post” it.
