Lisa Washington, CAE, executive director and CEO of the Design-Build Institute of America, has been inducted into the National Academy of Construction. As a black woman in a traditionally male-dominated field and a leader from a non-construction background, induction to NAC is a testimony to Washington’s leadership and innovation in the engineering, design and construction industry.
Membership in the National Academy of Construction is a distinction extended solely through invitation by current members. NAC is a distinguished institution that has, over the years, elected a selective group of professionals who have made significant and lasting impacts in various aspects of the construction industry. These include technology, alternative contracting, project delivery procedures, safety, workforce development, communication methods and much more.
Her dedication to standardizing best practices and promoting collaboration has left an indelible mark on the industry.
Washington played a pivotal role in DBIA’s revitalization. She assembled a remarkable team, expanded the membership and substantially increased DBIA’s operating budget from $3 million to $10.5 million. Her journey to DBIA ED/CEO was marked by a transformative vision.
With over 25 years of association management experience, Washington has served in executive positions with other notable organizations.
