Bob Jones, president of Ruppert Landscape’s landscape construction division, was appointed the 2014 chairman of the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) of Metro Washington. He was sworn into office on Jan. 15, and his term will run from through Dec.31.
The board works to protect and enhance the merit shop philosophy within the construction industry, identify pressing industry issues and provide valuable solutions to other professionals in the field. Jones will preside over each meeting of the executive committee and board of directors and help direct the board’s initiatives by establishing the budget, monitoring the organization’s financial health, establishing policy and procedures and measuring progress against the association’s strategic plan.
“We are fortunate to have Bob at the helm of our association and look forward to supporting his goals to grow our association and engage our members in the political process,” said Debra Schoonmaker, president of the Metro Washington chapter.
Jones has served on the board since 2007 and next year also will serve as chairman to the board of trustees of the ABC CraftMasters Training Trust.
