• President: Dylan Andrè of Patriot Construction and Industrial, LLC
• Vice President: Anthony "Tony" Sepulvado, Jr. of Boh Bros. Construction Co., LLC
• Treasurer: Brent Guthrie of Cajun Industries, LLC
• Secretary: Heath Stevens of Gulf Coast Pre-Stress Partners, LLC

President Andrè tells us that Members can expect some of the familiar Chapter activity, but there will also be some adjustments to the annual schedule; "We're trying to spice things up," he noted. "As in the past, we will have four, quarterly meetings, but we are working now to change one of the traditional locations. An announcement will be coming soon. Also, we are aiming to offer the skeet shoot on an annual basis - so that's another event we want people to look forward to attending in the new year."

In addition to the election of officers, the Chapter hosted time for networking, dinner and drinks, and covered an agenda to discuss its aspirations for growth, expansion of educational opportunities, and other matters brought to the floor. 

Chapter Members also heard a presentation from Meeting Sponsor JD Fields & Company, Inc. Representatives Alwyn McDowell and Joe Tridico spent some time updating attendees about steel pipe and steel sheet pile in the current marketplace. Following prepared remarks, they engaged the membership with Question and Answer time.

At the conclusion of the meeting, the PDCA Gulf Coast Chapter thanked its sponsor for underwriting the event and its membership for its ongoing participation in the local pile driving industry.
