community participants.

“No matter where his energies are focused – on his firm, on the Building Congress or on numerous other civic and construction organizations with which he volunteers his time, Bob Peckar is all about results and the betterment of the building community,” says Building Congress President Richard T. Anderson. “It has been an absolute pleasure to work with a man who so embodies the best of the construction industry's teamwork, ethics and spirit.” Anderson added, “For his many contributions, we are pleased to announce that Bob will be honored at the Building Congress Industry Recognition Dinner in October.”

Mr. Peckar, who co-founded Peckar & Abramson in 1978, is one of the nation's leading advocates for the appropriate use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) procedures.
