Meet the Team
Breaking Barriers & Building Bridges with 30 Years of Advocacy for under-served and historically under-utilized businesses and community residents seeking to participate in Construction projects.
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.”
Vice President
Evan Simmons
