Pinto receives Lifetime Service Award

William A. Pinto, BCN 1973, received a Lifetime Service Award from the Atlanta-based Associated Builders and Contractors of Georgia, Inc. (ABC). ABC presented the award to Pinto for his support, involvement and commitment to the association and its members during his extensive career in Georgia's construction industry.

Pinto's involvement in ABC began in the 1990s. He was instrumental in helping ABC create CEFGA, the Construction Education Foundation of Georgia. His leadership during the years leading up to his chairmanship of the Georgia Chapter board in 2002 helped the chapter grow to more than 400 total members. To ensure the Georgia chapter's continuity on the ABC national board, Pinto served as chapter representative for 10 years. At the national level, he served on the ABC BizCon committee for two years and as committee chair. During his career, Pinto was involved in building some of Atlanta's most prestigious projects before retiring from the industry as president of Hardin Construction Company.
