Metal Building Contractors & Erectors Association Association supports the professional advancement of metal building contractors, erectors and the industry.On behalf of the MBCEA, I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the MBMA. The decision to co-locate with our conference really contributed to our success. Tom Gilligan’s opening remarks are always great and being able to share award ceremonies and general networking was fantastic. Click here to see some pictures from this year’s conference.  Building of the Year awards and Pioneers are highlighted in our June newsletter and will be featured in the upcoming edition of Metal Construction News. I applaud those of you who take the time to submit an entry. We work on some pretty amazing projects and it its nice to be recognized for our efforts. Congratulations to all winners!  Tim Pendley, of Bay Insulation received the Bob and Beverly Ketenbrink Oil Can Award for his many contributions to industry. While at Span, Tim created the “Span University”, an in house building training facility so his erectors and employees could have first-hand knowledge and hands on training of field conditions for assembling metal buildings. So, it was easy for Tim to contribute his expertise and knowledge of safety and training processes for the Quality and Craftsmanship Training Video Series. For years Tim has interacted with contractors and erectors at MBCEA’s regional and national meetings providing input and knowledge of safety, training and erection techniques. While at Bay, Tim has been a proud supporter of MBCEA’s Conference golf tournaments and the new IMP video.  In his exit interview with Bay’s Human Resources Manager, Tim commented, “I just wanted to make a little difference”, and indeed he has. On behalf of Bev Ketenbrink and in honor of Bob, we were happy to present this year’s Oil Can.
