MCAA extends a warm welcome to Jacinda Matherne, who will be joining the staff as Associate Director, Membership Engagement starting March 1. In her new role, she will work alongside Jan Grillo to enhance membership engagement and strengthen connections with both contractor and supplier members. MCAA is pleased to welcome Jacinda to the staff and the MCAA family.
Jacinda brings extensive experience in strategic partnerships, industry engagement, and field marketing within the construction industry to the role. She has worked closely with MCAA, NECA, and SMACNA members in her previous roles at OpenSpace and eSUB, where she developed partnerships, managed corporate sponsorships, and executed high-impact events to strengthen industry connections.
She is passionate about building relationships and creating impactful programs that support MCAA members.
“Having worked alongside MCAA members in past roles, I’ve seen firsthand the impact of strong partnerships and engagement. I’m thrilled to now support members from within the association and contribute to MCAA’s mission in a new way.”
“I’m passionate about helping to advance the construction industry as a whole and am dedicated to ensuring MCAA members have the resources and support they need to be as successful as possible. I can’t wait to get to know my teammates and connect with more members—I look forward to learning from them and working together to strengthen the MCAA community.”
Jacinda holds a bachelor’s degree from Louisiana State University and a Certificate in Marketing Fundamentals from the University of San Diego. She has served on the Board of Directors for LSU Alumni of San Diego and Adobe Bluffs Educational Foundation and has contributed her expertise to industry-focused content marketing initiatives.
Originally from Louisiana, Jacinda spent 23 years in San Diego before moving to Dallas, TX, where she currently resides. She plans to relocate to Rockville, MD next year. She enjoys hiking beautiful places, pushing herself to learn and master new things—whether it’s a language, a sport, or an entirely new skill set—and cheering on LSU football. She is also passionate about volunteering in her community and spending time with her son, who will be starting at the University of Texas at Dallas in the fall, and her dog, Winston, a rescued Lagotto Romagnolo.
“If you’re an MCAA member, I’d love to connect—please don’t hesitate to reach out! I can’t wait to get started and meet more of you soon.”
