Their input is invaluable for investments that serve vital needs and make important contributions to economic growth.”

The Academy is a federally recognized not-for-profit organization that honors the contributions of industry leaders, shares their expertise to improve construction practices, and supports the advancement of the next generation of leaders. The Academy works to promote industry standards for safety, professionalism and new ideas.

Senator Sarlo, a graduate of the New Jersey Institute of Technology, is a Licensed Professional Engineer and the Chief Operating Officer of Joseph M. Sanzari, Inc, one of New Jersey’s largest infrastructure construction contractors.
