On Monday, Nov. 29 we welcome Mark Hourigan, founder and CEO of Hourigan, Inc. as our featured speaker. Mark has more than 30 years of experience in the development and commercial construction industry. His ability to understand the big picture, coupled with his keen eye for detail, consistently allow him to focus on the drivers of success for Hourigan’s clients. Acting as a champion for innovation and fostering a consultative approach, he has instilled a discipline for continuous improvement throughout the organization.

Mark’s commitment to developing people to their fullest potential is evident in the team he has assembled at Hourigan, as well as the formal Mentor-Protégé relationships he has established with minority firms in the region. Growing the next generation of industry leaders is another passion and one that has led to a role on the Advisory Board at the Virginia Tech School of Building Construction. In this role, he serves as a guest lecturer, assists in developing curriculum, sponsors internships and provides real world experience by integrating the students into Hourigan projects.

As a trusted voice at the table, Mark’s “buck stops here” leadership not only benefits clients, owners and sub-contractors, but goes beyond the profession and into the community, where he serves on numerous boards.
