Dave announced the plans for his transition in a virtual meeting with his staff on Wednesday morning, Sept. 2. He said he will work with his CBRE supervisors as they select a successor from internal and external candidates.

Dave is a 2 time past president of our club and has been instrumental in building our club's success!

Congratulations to Mike Johns Sr., CM, FAICA
Mike was highlighted in the August issue of Monument Builders of North America. The article covered the history of the family business, Johns-Carabelli Company, his monument design expertise, and his life of giving. 

If you ask Mike Johns Sr. about his career, he will tell you that he never worked a day in his life. He loved making monuments so much, he didn’t consider it his occupation—it was his vocation.
