I am very proud to see CIRT support great industry programs such as industry ethics, the ACE Mentor Program, and assisting in the industry’s drive to dramatically improve safety. I look forward to this next year working with the board and the CIRT staff to continue its mission.”
In welcoming Bacon as the new chairman, CIRT president Mark A. Casso, Esq., NAC noted, “Charlie puts his full attention and heart into anything he commits to; he will bring a great deal of energy to promoting the interests of the design and construction industry’s interests.”
