“Dan brings a wealth of financial and business acumen to the role of PCI chairman and we are fortunate to be able to benefit from his leadership,” said Bob Risser, PE, PCI’s president and chief executive officer. “We look forward to his guidance as we move ahead with our goals of growing the precast concrete industry through communication and collaboration.”

“My theme as PCI Chairman is Growing the Industry Through Communication and Collaboration,” said Juntunen. “What I most look forward to in serving as PCI Chairman is the opportunity to make a difference in the industry, the knowledge I’m gaining from interacting with others in the industry and the friendships that are formed through the process. There are so many nice, interesting people in this industry and I enjoy becoming a bigger part of it.”
