ABC Eastern Pennsylvania Chapter
ABC Eastern Pennsylvania Introduces New President/CEO
Associated Builders and Contractors Eastern Pennsylvania Chapter (ABC) is excited to announce Mary Tebeau of Blue Bell has assumed the role of president and chief executive officer effective June 1. Tebeau takes over for Jeff Zeh, who retires July 1 after 13 years at ABC. “I am eager to serve as your new president/CEO and look forward to meeting ABC members and guests at upcoming events or at member companies,” Tebeau said. “An initial goal is to meet and visit with as many members as possible to want to learn about your company and listen to your thoughts and ideas regarding the association.” For the past 11 years, Tebeau served as the president/CEO of the ABC Central Ohio Chapter in Columbus, Ohio. During this time she guided the chapter to increased membership, a more established committee structure, and moved the office and training facility under one roof to create an enhanced presence in Central Ohio. She led the chapter’s efforts to defeat a potential Project Labor Agreement on a local minor league baseball stadium, and received a victorious legal verdict from the Ohio Supreme Court regarding how the state views “prevailing wage violations.” Through ABC National Tebeau has served on the President’s Council for Region 6 and on the Careers in Construction Committee. Prior to joining ABC, Tebeau held several management positions at the Builders Exchange of Central Ohio over seven years, giving her 18 years serving the commercial construction industry. Outside her construction association experience, Tebeau has served on the board of the Ohio Society of Association Executives, and was the Board Chair last year. She was elected to the board of The Ohio State University’s Varsity O Women’s Athletic Alumnae Society, and served as that group’s Chair for two years. “I look forward to working with construction firms to strengthen merit shop construction in Eastern Pennsylvania, the state and the nation,” Tebeau said.

Construction Jobs | Construction Staffing
7 out of 10 construction projects are standing on something stronger than concrete or steel.
They’re standing on a concept called merit construction. This means both merit and union craftspeople work side-by-side.
Contractors are chosen on merit, those who offer the best skills get the jobs. Being open to new ideas like multi-skills work teams, new technology and advanced construction techniques, merit contractors are able to
