Washington, D.C. – Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) today announced that Vice President of Finance Jason R. Daisey has been promoted to chief financial officer. At ABC, he will oversee and direct the finance, facilities management and technology departments, as well as provide financial oversight for ABC-affiliated organizations.
