ST. PETERSBURG, FL — The Concrete Sawing and Drilling Association (CSDA) announces the appointment of Erin O’Brien as its next Executive Director, following the retirement of Pat O’Brien who served as Executive Director of the association since 1992.

“Erin has been intimately involved with the operations of CSDA for the past 10 years, so the opportunity to have her become the new Executive Director of the association creates a turnover that will be as seamless as can be imagined,” said Matthew Finnigan, CSDA’s President. “This new chapter creates the opportunity for innovation as well as the growth of programs for our members and the industry as we enter a new decade.”

O’Brien began her duties as Executive Director on January 1, 2020 and led the association’s presence at the World of Concrete in Las Vegas, Nevada, from February 4–7, 2020 and at its Annual Convention & Tech Fair in Carlsbad, California, from March 31 to April 4, 2020.
