Sasha Demyan elected to Metal Construction Hall of Fame

The Metal Construction Hall of Fame honors people in the industry who have made significant contributions to the metal building industry and improved people’s lives.

The Metal Building Contractors and Erectors Association (MBCEA) is pleased to announce that Sasha Demyan, MBCEA executive director, has been elected to the Metal Construction Hall of Fame. She was presented with her award at the 56th Annual MBCEA Conference and MBMA Spring Meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina on May 7, 2025.
 
“Sasha’s unwavering commitment to our members and her straight-up get-it-done passion, along with the steadfast coordination of many association presidents, made her an all-in, unanimous inductee for the Hall of Fame,” says Robert Tiffin, MBCEA president. “Congratulations Sasha – the gold, nay diamond, standard for our industry."
 
The Metal Construction Hall of Fame honors people in the industry who have made significant contributions to the metal building industry and improved people’s lives. Demyan took over the MBCEA in 2012 and immediately set about revitalizing the organization. Since then, the organization has grown more than 250 percent to over 700 members today. At the same time there has been a substantial increase in participation at the annual conference, which has become a must-attend event for anyone in the metal construction industry. Demyan was instrumental in co-locating the conference with the Metal Building Manufacturers Assocation (MBMA) Spring Meeting, bringing together contractors, erectors and manufacturers to better understand each other’s needs and concerns and help grow the industry. She has also prioritized the development and delivery of meaningful programs focused on safety, training and quality such as promoting the International Accreditation Service (IAS) AC478 Accreditation for Metal Building Assemblers Inspection initiative.
 
“It is an honor to be enshrined with the many people who helped me along the way,” says Demyan. “So many of the inductees have served as mentors to me throughout my career. To be listed alongside them is truly gratifying and a testament to the confidence they have in me and our efforts to make the MBCEA the premier association for contractors and erectors.” 
 
The Metal Building Hall of Fame is sponsored by Metal Construction News magazine and judges represent the major metal building industry associations and Kenilworth Media, publisher of Metal Construction News. Judges assess nominees based on five criteria: Longevity in the industry; Unique Contributions to the industry; Body of Work throughout a career; Legacy; and Integrity.
