In Memoriam
member spotlight
Mayhew began learning about the construction industry at her father’s knee — maybe as early as three years old!!!
we do and that’s where we need to put our energies, resources and time,” Mayhew said. “My number one priority is ensuring that we can promote and protect the industry at the capitol. This is what we do as an association; It’s what the members find value in and that’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to put all our resources into doing everything we can to promote and protect the industry at the capitol. This is truly what the association was designed to do.”
At home, ‘life is but a dream’ After fighting the good fight every day, believe it or not, she does have a life away from the office. Her husband of eight years, Bryan, has been in her life since they were both in high school. They met through each of their close friends and started dating when they were 16. “I talked to him for several months on the phone, because neither one of us had a driver’s license,” she noted. “And on my 16th birthday, I drove to Morrison to meet the young lad. We dated on and off for quite some time, then 11 years later, we got married and we’re living the dream — or so I’m told,” Mayhew laughed.

Last year, Mayhew gave birth to their first — and only (she’s quite clear on that) — child, Henry. Now at 17 months, the couple is still amazed at the change in their lives. “It’s shocking and unbelievable, really,” she said. “Henry was having dinner at the dining room table the other night and was sitting on one of the dining chairs. “Bryan looked at me and said, ‘When did this happen? It wasn’t that long ago that you weren’t even pregnant and we were doing what we do. And now there’s a child sitting at the dining room table having dinner. How did this happen?’ “I said, ‘I’m not really sure, actually.’ Having Henry changes things a little bit, not by much. Everything is the same, other than the house is now filled with toys.” While she’d love to travel, there’s not much free time in the Mayhew family these days. Bryan is a fire fighter with the Department of Defense, which means he works 24 hour shifts. “That means there’s even less free time,” Mayhew said. “Right now, free time is sort of consumed with Henry and Bryan and doing what we do, hanging out with friends. The number of free hours is pretty minimal.” She’s also president of her home owners’ association. “That’s my fulltime volunteer activity that I get 25 emails a day about,” Mayhew quipped.

Although she could have gone on to do something else after the ‘No on 24’ campaign was finished, Mayhew feels comfortably at home in the world of builders. “It’s a group of really good people who work hard. They’re amazingly giving and smart, and they’re just fun. They do great things, both within the industry and outside of it.” She added, “I get the industry. I grew up in the industry, watching the whole thing go on. I like the people, I support the industry and enjoy the politics of it. I like to come to work.”
