MCAA is pleased to share that SMACNA leadership has selected Frank Wall as its next Chief Executive Officer as the organization moves in a new direction at the CEO level.

Over the past five years, Frank, in his role as MCAA Executive Director of Operations, has played a key role in helping MCAA advance its core values, mission, and promise. His leadership has been instrumental in helping to shape MCAA’s post-pandemic culture, establishing staff core values, strengthening engagement with local affiliates, supporting members, advancing the industry, and fostering the continued growth and development of MCAA’s staff.

Frank’s ability to lead with integrity, clarity, and collaboration has helped position MCAA well for the challenges and opportunities facing our industry. His appointment as CEO of SMACNA is a well-deserved recognition of his leadership, experience, and commitment to the mechanical contracting community.

While Frank will be missed in his day-to-day role at MCAA, the association is confident that he will bring the same dedication and steady leadership to SMACNA that he has demonstrated throughout his tenure with MCAA. His contributions have helped ensure MCAA remains strong, focused, and well-positioned for the future.

MCAA congratulates Frank Wall on this exciting new chapter and looks forward to continuing a strong partnership with SMACNA under his leadership. We thank Frank for all he has done for MCAA and wish him great success in his new role.
