Glen Pisani’s Strategic Leadership Earns Him 2025 Eddie Award
Glen Pisani, Steel Division Manager at MAS Building & Bridge in Norfolk, Massachusetts, was named the 2025 recipient of The Eddie Award during SEAA’s Convention & Trade Show in Pittsburgh this past May. Formerly known as the Person of the Year Award, the recognition was renamed to commemorate founding member Edward “Eddie” Williams. It is presented annually to an individual who exemplifies outstanding leadership, dedicated service, and a deep commitment to SEAA’s mission and values.
A SEAA member for more than 15 years, Pisani has held several leadership roles on the Board of Directors and currently serves as Chairman of the Strategic Planning Committee. Respected for his strategic thinking, mentorship, and passion for the industry, he has played a key role in guiding the association through a period of growth and transformation. His efforts have helped expand SEAA’s reach, strengthen peer group involvement, and support programs that benefit contractors of all sizes.
“I had the pleasure of appointing Glen as Chairman of SEAA’s Strategic Planning Committee, fully confident that he would take the ball and run with it, and he absolutely delivered,” said David Deem, past SEAA President and President of Deem Structural Services.
“That’s who Glen is. Time and again, whether it’s a board initiative or a new program, he steps up and exceeds expectations. His contributions have had a lasting impact on SEAA’s direction.”
Peers say Pisani brings energy and focus to every project. His leadership is defined not only by vision, but by a dedication to helping others succeed.
“I’ve known Glen for more than 40 years, and in the 25 years we’ve worked together, his passion for helping others achieve success has never wavered,” said Jerry Morganelli, Steel Operations Manager at MAS Building & Bridge. “He truly loves the industry, and his commitment to SEAA’s future makes him more than deserving of this recognition.”
Pisani was a member of Connector magazine’s advisory committee from 2017 to 2023, offering insight to guide its editorial direction. “He’s still someone I turn to when I need a clear perspective on an industry or technical issue. His enthusiasm for sharing knowledge pushes me to avoid growing complacent,” said Tracy Bennett, Editor of Connector and President of Mighty Mo Media Partners.
Pisani’s contributions reflect the spirit of The Eddie: a leader who not only serves the industry but works to strengthen its future. Through his strategic leadership and genuine care for others, Pisani has helped shape a stronger, more connected SEAA.
