As a new membership year gets underway, we want to give our 2024-2025 Executive Committee a chance to tell you, in their own words, why they volunteer and what makes AWCI special to them. Next up is AWCI Vice President Jeff Dreisewerd. How long has your company been a member of AWCI? Since 1994 How long have you been involved in the organization? 12 years Why are you involved? I was given the opportunity 12 years ago to attend a convention, and I really wanted to understand and learn about how other regions and companies operated in their areas. Also, I was surprised by the friendliness of the whole organization and its members. I wanted to get involved to grow personally and help our company grow. I want to give back to others who have invested a lot of time and money in my career, and I want to give back and hopefully help our industry stay as fresh and relevant as possible. What is the value of membership for you? The network of people, companies, suppliers and manufacturers, being involved with a peer group exchanging ideas and best practices to move our company/industry forward and access safety, technical information, educational programs and publications. It allows our company to stay fresh and aligned with the newest trends in the industry and, at times, showcase what we do as a company through some of the awards programs. Many employees participate in other committees throughout AWCI, giving them a chance to grow as individuals and set new paths/directions for their future. Why should others get involved in AWCI? To understand and educate themselves and their companies on the different ways that national businesses operate, networking with all attendees at events, be it manufacturers, contractors or suppliers, and taking advantage of all the educational and technical resources offered through the membership.

Absolutely! A strong team and effective leadership are the cornerstones of accomplishing any task successfully. Together, they synergize efforts, leverage diverse skills, and foster a collaborative environment where each member feels empowered and valued. A good leader not only sets clear goals and expectations but also inspires and motivates the team to perform at their best. Meanwhile, a good team comprises individuals who bring unique strengths, perspectives, and expertise to the table, complementing each other's abilities and working towards a common objective. When these elements align, they create a powerful force capable of overcoming challenges, adapting to changes, and achieving remarkable results.
