Former Maryland Secretary of Labor Named ABC VP of Workforce and Safety Policy

Associated Builders and Contractors announced that Tiffany Robinson has joined the association as its vice president of workforce and safety policy. Robinson brings deep experience in executive leadership, workforce development, public policy and infrastructure to ABC.

As a member of ABC’s executive leadership team, Robinson will lead research, policy and strategic initiatives designed to strengthen the construction workforce, advance health and safety and help expand America’s capacity to build critical infrastructure. She will work closely with ABC’s 67 chapters and 24,000 members to identify emerging workforce and safety challenges and develop proactive, research-driven solutions.

Prior to joining ABC, Robinson served as Maryland secretary of labor, where she led a department of more than 1,600 employees, pioneered the state’s skills-based hiring initiative, which eliminated four-year degree requirements for thousands of state jobs, and testified before Congress on apprenticeship policy. She later served as Virginia director of rail and public transportation, where her work included workforce development, apprenticeship and safety initiatives tied to the state’s rail and transit system.

Robinson is an attorney and earned her Juris Doctor from the University of Baltimore School of Law and a bachelor’s degree in political science from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
