I love construction. It is always a changing environment and we get to work with great and talented people. I learn something new in the world of safety every day.

I love making meaningful connections with people. I try to lead with an honest approach to things. I connect with people and those connections have proven to be the best part of my job.

One of the most critical components to this industry is learning on the job, so find yourself a mentor who can genuinely help you pursue your ambitions. And as you move up and learn more each day, reach back and bring the next young, ambitious lady along with you.

You, just by being a woman, will bring a different dynamic to your interactions with subcontractors, vendors and teammates. That’s ok, different doesn’t mean less than or bad. Different just means not the same.

"There are many things I enjoy about my career, but if I had to pick one thing, it would probably be at the end of the project when we can compare the design with the finished product."

Shari Durazzano’s role in construction is in building membership at ABC where she can share resources like education, safety, training, and networking. One of her favorite aspects of that role is hearing about and seeing the amazing projects member companies have built.

For those who do not know me, my name is Matt Johnson and I am thrilled to be the 2021 chair of the the NH and Vt chapter of ABC. I am a construction attorney and practice at Devine Millimet in Manchester and have since 1997. I live in Bedford with my wife Gretchen and five kids, all of whom have been home so I am particularly looking forward to ABC events in 2021.

Thank you for your interest in attending the 2021 Virtual Annual Meeting and Board Induction.  We look forward to seeing everyone’s faces on our screen Wednesday, January 13 at 3:00 pm. 

ABC NH/VT is pleased to announce a new educational series that will provide important information about labor laws and compliance and their impact on contractors.
