Industry Leadership Panel

A special shout-out to our panelists who joined us on Wednesday, Oct. 14th, 2027 at Live! Casino:

• John O’Quinn – President, High Steel Structures, LLC
• Rick Cooper – Chairman & CEO, W&W/Afco Steel
• David Zalesne – President, Owen Steel Company
• Charlie Carter (Moderator) – President, AISC

The panel was both informative, entertaining, and engaging. It never ceases to amaze me that no matter how large or small your company may be, we all face the same issues within the industry. It was also enlightening to hear how we can adapt and overcome matters to be successful as well!

Honoring Industry Milestones

It was my privilege to have had the opportunity to honor those fabrication companies which have been established for 25 years or more; one of our members, Berlin Steel is in their 115th year—way to go!

Lastly, congratulations to Jim Collins (Metals USA), Jim Urban (Metals USA), and John Lusdyk (Infra Metals) for their time spent in the industry and the friendships we made along the way!

The networking and relationship building is a key component and backbone of our industry, without good, quality individuals such as yourselves none of this would be possible. I cannot say it enough, thank you again for being a part of our Association, without your support we would not exist! If you missed this event, hopefully we will see you at the next one.
