In her 13 years with the Nevada Contractors Association, Nadia Griffin has immersed herself in her work and the community with palpable passion for the industry she serves. As the director of marketing and events, Griffin is responsible for providing networking opportunities to NCA members, allowing them to exchange expertise, access resources and develop new collaborative relationships.
The NCA is the largest industry-specific association in Nevada. Its members include commercial construction building contractors, specialty contractors and subcontractors, general engineering contractors, equipment and material suppliers and professional service firms. Griffin helps these members create marketing campaigns and provides them with resources that help bolster their businesses and experience success in a competitive market.
Griffin has coordinated more than 180 events in her career. In recent years as inflation has surged, she has expanded her creativity to continue to conceptualize high-quality events with financial responsibility. These events include many community service activities like Operation Backpack, which Griffin started a decade ago to benefit local elementary schools. Griffin has also raised millions of dollars in sponsorship and for the association’s Michael T. Martin Memorial Scholarship. The scholarship has helped 104 students pursue construction careers.
