PCCA Leadership Development Program Conflict Resolution with Andy Patron 8 am - 4 pmBallroom C

This year’s Leadership Development Pro-gram session revolves around understand-ing conflict and how to resolve it. We will discuss the inherent adversarial relationships within our industry and learn how to look at conflict differently. The class will provide a model to help you negotiate more effectively when conflict does arise. We will look at how your personality style and preferred conflict mode are also important con-siderations when dealing with disputes under pressure. In a workshop called “Win As Much As You Can,” you will apply some of the concepts and learn that successful

relationships are the result of an ongoing process rather than just one-time transactions. It will illustrate the range of behaviors that we exhibit when involved in day-to-day negotiations.$500 per person, includes all educational materials, professional instructor, breakfast and lunch on Friday, an invitation to Friday night’s VIP reception, and breakfast on Saturday.

Microgrids Will Bring Macro Opportunities 10:30 - 11:30 amBallroom CFor most of our lifetimes, we’ve seen a power grid that consists of centralized generating stations, large transmis-sion towers, and big, fat cables designed to move high-voltage AC current into your home and business.

How will your business adapt to a change from high-voltage AC wiring to low-cost, low-voltage DC that is tightly integrated into the Internet of Things? And are you ready to build a self-contained energy plant that is as easy to wire as a home entertainment system? Greg Smela had been an Information Technology generalist for thirty years and is currently the Director of Information Technology for a pharma company in New England where he also operates a small IT consultancy. He has written on the subject of Microgrids for SPI Today, the official publication of Solar Power International. He will present an overview of this coming change in our electrical grid to help you prepare for some exciting new opportunities.

2017 Convention Program & Auction Catalog 19

All proceeds from Sunday night’s Auc-tion go directly to building programs and services for PCCA members. The Auction has been bankrolling PCCA’s education

programs for years, first the Young Construction Profes-sionals and now the Leadership Development Program and the Project Manager Academy. That support will continue. In 2016, the auction funded PCCA’s greatly expanded government relations efforts, aiming to ensure that our voice is heard on issues important to our members and to establish PCCA as a resource for lawmakers and regulators in advance of government actions. In short, we want to expand the power and communica-tion construction markets and oppose any legislation or regulation that stifles innovation and productivity in our industry. To tackle these ambitious goals, the PCCA Govern-ment & Industry Affairs Committee traveled to Wash-ington, D.C., four times to meet with lawmakers, congressional staff, federal agencies, owners groups, and other industry associations. At these meetings, PCCA not only advocates on behalf of its members, but also educates people about power and communication construction and gathers information about initiatives that will impact the industry. One initiative in 2016 that could tremendously im-pact the power and communica-tion construction industry, as well as the greater excavation community, is the proposed Gold Shovel Standard (GSS). PCCA members met with the GSS administrator and represen-tatives from other excavation trade associations to evaluate the program and to assess the impact the program might have on our Industry. In 2017 the Auction will fund the new PCCA Education & Research Foundation, in part to address the workforce shortage in the industry. The association is moving forward with several initiatives that aim to make a

dent in the worker shortage. First, PCCA established a scholarship fund under the direction of the PCCA Past Presidents and using auction income earmarked by the PCCA Board, to provide up to four scholarships per year for the children of PCCA members and their employees. PCCA has begun accepting scholarship ap-plications and will award its first scholarships for the start of the 2017-18 school year. At the same time, the PCCA Education Committee has been working on plans to develop and endorse a utility construction curriculum for technical schools and community colleges that can be transported around the nation. PCCA member Sellenriek Construc-tion, Jonesburg, Mo., has been working on such a curriculum with the State Technical College of Mis-souri, and PCCA is developing a curriculum approach that can be implemented by other PCCA-member companies in their areas. PCCA board member Chase Lapcinski of Push, Inc., and Mark Bridgers of Contin-uum Capitol are working with Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College to co-develop the PCCA-endorsed curriculum. The bottom line is to bid early and often on the qual-ity auction items we have this year. With your help, the PCCA board will build programs and services that will improve your company’s bottom line.
