Change at the top - new NDA president

A new president is at the helm of the National Demolition Association. Don Rachel succeeds Ray Passeno to the post, and has been involved with the NDA since 1990 and has served as chairperson of the Environment and Safety committees as well as vice president, secretary and treasurer. He is CEO of Rachel Contracting, based in Minnesota, USA.

Don's stated primary goal is to ensure the NDA's focus on providing its members with the tools they need to be successful. He said: "We can't control the national economy, but we can give our members the resources they need to control their own individual business economy. Our goal is to add real value to membership in the NDA by producing deliverables that will positively impact the bottom line."
