Master Builders of Iowa

You are invited to join your colleagues and peers to celebrate excellence at this year’s Masters Award Luncheon – February 21, 2012 – 12:00 – 1:45.  Special Guest Sal Giunta will be this year presenter.

Saving his squad from the Taliban during a deadly ambush in Afghanistan, Sal Giunta shares with unassuming humility his courageous story and the importance of teamwork, selflessness and leadership.  A valiant leader, former US Army Staff Sergeant Sal Giunta was introduced by President Barack Obama as being “as humble as he is courageous” when he was presented with our nation’s highest military decoration – The Medal of Honor for his heroic actions during combat in the Korengal Valley of Afghanistan. 

We are pleased to invite you to attend the Master Builders of Iowa’s 100th Annual Convention and Iowa Construction Exposition scheduled for February 20-22, 2012 at the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines, Iowa.

This Convention is even more special as the Master Builders of Iowa is celebrating 100 years. With this major milestone within the association, festivities are planned to celebrate and pay tribute to the individuals who have a hand in building for the commercial construction industry.  In conjunction with this 100th Anniversary, MBI is focusing on leader recognition, history of member contributions to the industry, state and national infrastructure, community, the quality of life and economic development for the state of Iowa.
