During its Annual Membership Meeting on March 3, 2026, Zach Green, Colas USA, was named the 2026 board chair of the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA). Outgoing board chair Ted Baker II, Blue Water Industries, handed off the gavel to Green after presenting the 2025 State of the Association.
"It's an honor to serve as NSSGA's next board chair," said Green. "This association matters — not just in Washington, but back home in every state and community where our members operate, employ people and supply the materials that quite literally build America."
Green has 26 years of leadership experience across the Colas Group. He has guided major divisions such as Barrett Industries, Reeves Construction, HRI, IA and Delta Companies, leading large civil infrastructure operations across multiple states. Green has led major company turnarounds to record profitability and has continued to drive strategic change across several operating companies.
The NSSGA Annual Membership Meeting also included recognition of outgoing leaders and award presentations. The first was the Barry K. Wendt Memorial Commitment Award and secondly, the Paul Mellott, Jr. Award for Political Excellence. The keynote speaker was Jon Lakefish who spoke on AI technology in the workplace.
The full roster of 2026 officers and executive committee members also was announced during the meeting. NSSGA members' next full Membership Meeting will be held in Washington, D.C., at the Legislative and Policy Forum, Sept. 20-23, 2026.
