ABC Keystone Earns Top National Recognition at the 2026 Association Excellence Awards

Associated Builders and Contractors Keystone Chapter earned two national honors at the 2026 Association Excellence Awards, presented March 20 during ABC Convention 2026 in Salt Lake City.

The Association Excellence Awards recognize ABC chapters, leaders and teams that demonstrate excellence in workforce development, member engagement and advocacy across the merit shop construction industry.

ABC Keystone received the Charles A. Mullan Award, one of ABC’s highest chapter honors. Named for ABC founder Charles A. Mullan, the award recognizes 10 chapters for outstanding performance in both national dues revenue growth and overall membership growth. Chapters are evaluated within divisions based on size and revenue.

The chapter also earned a Northeast Region Membership Award for membership goal achievement and membership growth.

In addition, Aimée Deraco, President of Brubaker and ABC Keystone Executive Committee secretary received an honorable mention in ABC’s Beam Club, which recognizes individuals for contributions to membership growth.

“These awards reflect the strength of our membership and the commitment of our volunteers and staff to advancing the merit shop,” said Dave Sload, President-CEO of ABC Keystone. “We are proud to be recognized for the growth and value we continue to deliver to our members and the industry.”
