Patricia “Patty” Silverstein has joined the Colorado Association of Mechanical and Plumbing Contractors (CAMPC).

“We are thrilled to add Patty Silverstein to our team,” said Dave Davia, EVP and CEO of CAMPC. “Her expertise will be an invaluable tool to our members and industry as a whole.”

CAMPC is an organization dedicated to representing and promoting the interests of the general welfare of the mechanical, plumbing and HVAC industry in Colorado.

“At CAMPC, we engage in economic development, workforce, education and training, and legislative advocacy with one single goal in mind: to create jobs and strengthen the construction industry for the hardworking men and women who through their work define our cities’ skylines and are part of the fabric of the business community in Colorado,” continued Davia. “With Patty’s help, we will provide our members with a valuable snapshot of the construction industry and better prepare them for success in the future.”

According to Davia, Silverstein will provide CAMPC members and the industry with valuable economic data to forecast both growth opportunities and market downturns as well as workforce projections and training needs. Her first study will be issued in July.
