Meet Your New Regional Vice Presidents

Donald M. Harris is the Vice President for Region A.

Don is President of Donald Harris, Inc., a leading Western Pennsylvania mason contracting firm that he founded in 1959. Starting as a laborer in 1948, he has worked as an apprentice, journeyman and foreman bricklayer before becoming a contractor. His company is headquartered in Pittsburgh.

His wife Marge, while not being a golf widow, claims to be an "association widow," since Don is very active in the construction industry, serving as President of the Mason Contractors Association of Allegheny County and as a Trustee of the Construction Industry Advancement Program of Western Pennsylvania.

He also is a Director of the Associated Sub-Contractors of Western Pennsylvania as well as the Pittsburgh Builders Exchange.

Don and Marge are the proud parents of recently married Lynn Roberta; Lee, a college student; Beth Ann, a high school student, and Scott MeKindley, a first-grader. A whenever-possible-sportsman, Don enjoys hunting, fishing, boating and water skiing with his family.

He was elected the first President of the Atlanta Chapter of MCAA and has been an active member of the national association for nearly twenty years. During this period he has served as Georgia State Chairman several times as well as being MCAA Secretary from 1967-68. He presently serves as a Management Trustee for the Atlanta Bricklayers Health & Welfare and Pension Funds.
