The annual ACE Mentor Program Phoenix Showcase was incredible, all thanks to your support! Held once again at the Arizona Heritage Center, this year's event was overflowed with students, mentors, family, and friends. The dedication and skill of the students shone through in each project presentation, and we were honored to come together to celebrate their hard work and commitment to the program. Thank you to our mentors and sponsors whose support made this event possible. The positivity ACE Mentor Program has received in Phoenix has been impactful for the involvement in the area. We are proud to support students getting introduced to the construction trades early in their careers. Thank you to all who attended, participated in, and supported this remarkable event. #ACEMentorProgram #ACEMentorProgramPhoenix

It is with a very heavy heart that we share the passing of John Pawloski, affectionately referred to by colleagues and friends as J. Paw. John was an amazing husband and father, very invested in his family. John was a passionate ACE mentor, he was a co-lead mentor at EVIT, and his passion was the next generation of the AEC industry. In 2019 he was named mentor of the year by the ACE Mentor Program of Phoenix. He was a plumber by background and was an MEP superintendent at McCarthy for the last 9 years. He also taught classes to aspiring trade professionals at EVIT and South Mountain Community College. He had a goal to one day teach at EVIT in retirement. In 2021, much to his surprise, his daughter Alexa enrolled in ACE, and is now a CM student at NAU. John was so proud to see his daughter find her love for the industry that he invested so much in. He has two other children and his wife thinks they will also follow a similar track. At our 2023 showcase, despite being very weak, he sat in the front row of showcase and watched the student presentations with such admiration and pride. John was such a special part of our ACE family.   In loving memory of John, J. Paw Pawloski, he will be so deeply missed, his impact felt for years and his memory never forgotten. Please consider contributing to this fund covering the unexpected costs related to John’s heartbreaking passing. Prayers and love to the Pawloski Family.  https://lnkd.in/gDnNYsG8
