FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. – The Concrete Foundations Association announces the installation of three distinguished leaders to its Legacy Committee: Van Smith of Hudson Valley Concrete Pumping, Inc.; Mark Saldana of Saldana Concrete; and Lance Jordan, formerly of Stephens and Smith Concrete Construction.
The appointments honor their significant contributions and longstanding service to the concrete foundation industry and the CFA.
Smith brought dynamic energy to the board, championing the “Projects of the Year” program and passionately sharing his expertise in construction education and technology.
Saldana’s service was defined by his passionate involvement in strategic planning, which formalized the mission and vision that guides the CFA today.
Jordan’s tenure on the CFA board was marked by his stabilizing leadership during the economic recession, a critical period for the association. His persistent efforts helped ensure the CFA’s continuity and fostered a collaborative environment for members.
The purpose of CFA’s Legacy Committee is to safeguard and cultivate institutional knowledge, framed by history and held visible toward the future. By preserving the collective wisdom shared by vigorous networking, institutionalizing historical insights and honoring the best practices throughout CFA membership, this committee aims to ensure continuity, excellence and innovation in the concrete contracting industry.
