Michael Nahas, Executive Director, Safety, Health & Risk Management
Starting: February 9, 2026

We are excited to welcome Michael (Mike) Nahas to the MCAA team. With 40 years of experience in safety and continuous improvement, Mike is recognized in advancing operational excellence through practical guidance and strong leadership partnership. Throughout his career, he has worked closely with senior and field leaders to strengthen safety performance, enhance quality, eliminate waste, and reduce operational delays. Mike’s hands‑on approach and commitment to sustainable results have helped organizations streamline workflows and improve overall efficiency. His deep expertise in safety management systems, process improvement, and cross‑functional team leadership makes him a valuable asset to organizations focused on long‑term operational success.

Michael will be responsible for leading MCAA’s comprehensive Safety Excellence Initiative and supporting the occupational safety and health needs of all our member companies. He will provide direct safety consulting to members, lead the development of industry-specific safety resources, manage national safety programming, and represent MCAA in regulatory, legislative, and consensus-standard environments.

Grant Campbell, Director, MSCA Training
Starting: February 16, 2026

We are thrilled to welcome Grant Campbell to the MCAA team. With more than 15 years of instructional experience, Grant specializes in communication, curriculum development, and adult learning. He has designed and delivered communication courses that strengthen technical and professional skills, and his work at Marine Corps University included teaching research and communication, coaching students and faculty, and supporting high‑quality writing and presentations. Grant has also taught a variety of communication courses at the university level in both Virginia and Colorado, bringing a well‑rounded perspective to his work. His expertise spans curriculum design, public speaking, communication theory, presentation coaching, and train‑the‑trainer development. Grant currently lives in Washington, DC, where he enjoys sports, local breweries, and spending time outdoors.

Grant will be responsible for the operational management, execution, and advancement of MSCA’s national education programs tailored for mechanical service contractors focused on heating, air conditioning, refrigeration, and plumbing service — including Dispatchers, Service Managers, Field Supervisors, Technical Training classes, and Sales Basecamp classes. He will serve as the primary onsite facilitator for all programs and the central point of contact for instructors, learners, MSCA Training committee members, company training coordinators, vendors, and sponsors. Grant will also facilitate the development of new in-person and online educational programming through data collection and analysis; content design; and interdepartmental MSCA Training Committee coordination.

Sarah Davis, Associate Director, Project Management Education
Starting: January 23, 2026

We are pleased to welcome Sarah Davis to the MCAA team. Sarah brings extensive experience in operations leadership, strategic planning, and process improvement across nonprofit, retail, technology, and service‑based organizations. A graduate of Louisiana State University with a degree in Mass Communication, she has built a strong track record of enhancing efficiency, strengthening teams, and elevating organizational performance. In her free time, Sarah enjoys taking her dogs on new adventures and pursuing her longtime hobby of horseback riding.

Sarah will be responsible for delivering and administering MCAA’s in-person project management training programs and classes, including the Institute for Project Management (IPM) and the Advanced Institute for Project Management (AIPM). Under initial guidance, Sarah will manage program workflows, logistics, and communications to ensure a seamless participant experience for both learners and instructors.
