President

Pamela Penn

Why PDA? “I started PDA Consulting Group because opportunity should not depend on your background, your setbacks, or a college degree. Union construction careers are a direct pathway to the middle class, and anyone willing and able to work deserves access to them. PDA exists to break down barriers, open doors, and make sure no one is left out. I believe that when opportunity is fair, everyone can win.”
