ACCA announced that after 17 years with the association, Paul Stalknecht, president and CEO, is leaving the organization. To fill his position, the board of directors named Barton James interim president and CEO. James was previously the senior vice president of government affairs.
“We are hoping this will be just the change the association needs to make us the premier contractor association in our industry,” said Steve Schmidt, ACCA board of directors’ chairman. “We believe James has the skills to make us the new ACCA. We have full confidence in him.”
