After nearly 30 years as the American Road & Transportation Builders Association's president and CEO, Peter Ruane will be retiring in October, the association says.
Following Ruane’s retirement this fall, which ARTBA announced on June 19, the association’s long-time chief operating officer, William D. Toohey Jr., will become acting CEO. A search committee has been formed, led by David Zachry, CEO of contractor Zachry Corp., to seek Ruane's replacement. Ruane says committee members are looking at internal and external candidates but aren’t close to a decision yet.
