FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ATLANTA (04/21/2023) — The Construction Financial Management Association (CFMA) has elected Bruce Orr, founder and chief data scientist of ProNovos, to its national Executive Committee. “We are excited that Bruce will be joining our Executive Committee,” said Stuart Binstock, CFMA’s President and CEO. “Bruce brings a unique and vital voice to the Association that will help us bring new ideas about possible services we may provide our members, and he will also assist us to nurture and grow the membership of the Association.” A member of CFMA’s Georgia Chapter for the past seven years, Orr also belongs to CFMA’s DEI+ Committee, which he chaired from April 2021 until joining the Executive Committee this month. In his new role, Orr collaborates with other elected officers and members of CFMA to assist with setting the organization’s direction; ensure that necessary resources are available, and provide oversight to help fulfill the goals of CFMA’s Strategic Plan. Key components of that plan, which Orr helped shape in November 2021, include:
- Developing CFMA members and stakeholders via education, certification, resources and other forms of support
- Fostering an open, welcoming and inclusive community within CFMA and the broader industry
- Advancing the construction ecosystem by providing education, information and financial acumen
- Strengthening CFMA chapters and stakeholders through more efficient processes, data and technology
- Innovating new business models, services and products, as well as adaptive responses to emerging trends
“I could not be more passionate about those five pillars of CFMA’s vision, all of which relate directly to the construction analytics startup I founded and to the values and priorities that have shaped my own career path,” Orr said. “I am thrilled and honored to join CFMA’s Executive Committee, and I can’t wait to see what new directions we’ll explore in the year ahead.” CFMA officers meet each January to make new additions to the 15-member Executive Committee. Additional incoming Executive Committee members include:
- Christian Geismann (Schuchart Corporation)
- Linda Roberts, CPA, CCIFP, Prosci CCP (BerryDunn)
