• Identify what is necessary to develop a complete

end-to-end project delivery plan,

• Organize and structure the project plan information

for communicating with the project team, and

• Effectively document the project plan.

Andy Patron is a senior consultant with FMI,

specializing in the creation and implementation of

training programs that are designed to develop world-

class leadership and organizational effectiveness.

Andy’s enthusiastic approach

draws from his real-world

experience in management

and the construction industry.

He has more than 20 years of

experience working with private

and public sector owners and

contractors. As a production

manager in the residential

market, he has been responsible

for the day-to-day allocation of

resources and learned to tackle

the unique operational challenges

associated with production in the

construction industry.

The YCP session also features a

short presentation and Q&A with

PCCA Past President and 40-plus-

year construction industry veteran

Ron Tagliapietra. Tag’s rise from

a young laborer to Senior Vice

President of Michels Corporation

is a classic American success

story, and from him attendees can learn a lot about hard

work, leadership, and giving back to the industry.

President’s Welcome Reception

5:30 - 7 pm

Kevin & Debbie Mason invite all PCCA attendees to the

Town Hall patio and lawn overlooking the picturesque

Marina for a delightful evening with delicious

dining, everyone’s favorite beverages, unbeatable

entertainment, and the best part of any PCCA event—

all your old friends and a bunch of new acquaintances.

Opening Session with Dave Barry

7 - 8 pm

Dave Barry is a humor columnist and best-selling

author. For 25 years he was a syndicated columnist

whose work appeared in more than 500 newspapers

worldwide. In 1988 he won the Pulitzer Prize for

Commentary. Many people are still trying to figure

out how this happened. Barry has written a total of

30 books, although virtually

none of them contain useful

information. Two of his books

were used as the basis for the

CBS TV sitcom Dave’s World,

in which Harry Anderson

played a much taller version of

Barry. Barry plays lead guitar

in a literary rock band called

the Rock Bottom Remainders,

whose other members include

Stephen King, Amy Tan, Ridley

Pearson, and Mitch Albom. They are not musically

skilled, but they are extremely loud. Barry has also

made many TV appearances, including one on David

Letterman where he proved that it is possible to set fire

to a pair of men’s underpants with a Barbie doll.

In his spare time, Barry is a candidate for President

of the United States. If elected, his highest priority will

be to seek the death penalty for whoever is responsible

for making Americans install low-flow toilets.

Barry lives in Miami, Fla., with his wife, Michelle,

a sportswriter. He has a son, Rob, and a daughter,

Sophie, neither of whom thinks he’s funny.

Barry brings his hilarious sense of humor to the

PCCA stage and offers up his wacky point of view on

relationships, work, kids, technology, and life in general.

on the valuable information gleaned from the

Construction Industry Roundtable. This fast-paced and

frank discussion moves through the various sectors

of power and communications construction and

elicits thoughtful insights and candid opinions from

PCCA Convention
