Thank you to everyone who came out and as always, a huge thank you to our fantastic Sponsors for making these fantastic events a success! #golfouting #ABCMeritShopProud #events2024

ABC Eastern PA is excited to announce that we have appointed John Koehr, PMP, CAE, a seasoned association executive, as the new Chapter President and CEO. John relieves Amanda Milewski, who has served in an acting capacity since December 2023, and remains as the chapter’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer (COO). John previously served in nonprofit trade associations and professional societies as Executive Director for the Southern California Contractors Association (SCCA) and the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) and in multiple association executive roles with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), including President of two subsidiaries. He has also served as a consultant and executive coach. Prior to his association work, he managed major projects in the subsea telecommunications cable industry, served as a project manager and engineer in the commercial nuclear power industry, and started his career as a U.S. Navy submarine officer. He holds an engineering degree from the U.S. Naval Academy and both the Certified Association Executive (CAE) and Project Management Professional (PMP) credentials. On his appointment John commented “I am truly honored to be selected for this important role and excited about the potential to lead and develop this high performing staff, establish strong professional relationships with all stakeholders, build on ABC Eastern PA’s strengths and success, and make meaningful and lasting contributions to long term mission impact. I look forward to the opportunity to work closely with the Board, staff, and the entire ABC network to bring value to the organization, membership, and industry as we co-create our vision”. George Hayden, President of Hayden Power Group and current Chairman of the ABC Eastern Pennsylvania Board of Directors, commented “We are thrilled that John Koehr has joined us. His extensive background and abilities complement our staff and volunteer leadership and will help us mobilize and grow our membership, attract the next generation to the industry, and develop our workforce. This is a critical time for the construction industry and ABC Eastern PA’s role in support of our members is even more important as we promote free enterprise and the merit shop philosophy.” John lives in New Jersey, with his wife Melissa of over 35 years. They have three adult sons, all Mechanical Engineers and Eagle Scouts. John volunteers with the U.S. Naval Academy (USNA) Office of Admissions as a Blue and Gold Officer (BGO) and on the Service Academy nomination panels for New Jersey's U.S. Senators. He is also a Trustee and active volunteer on the USS New Jersey (SSN 796) Submarine Commissioning Committee. #ABCMeritShopProud
