The ABC Cumberland Valley Chapter, located in Hagerstown, Md., recently launched their “Generation Next” young professional program with their first official event on Oct. 22. The event featured speaker Jamie Kline, a board member of the chapter and president of RDC Inc., a local electric company and member of the chapter. 

The seminar focused on the importance of young professionals in the construction industry and the opportunities for growth within the industry.

"It's all about championing the construction industry, the great opportunity that's here," said Matt Kline, the co-chairman for the Young Professionals group. "A lot of times, construction is seen as a second-choice career, and frankly, we're here to say that it shouldn't be."
