Dwayne BoudreauxRef-Chem L.P.

Tell us about your involvement with ABC/CMEF? As a member for 30+ years, I’ve participated in various committees, chaired a few different committees, walked the halls of our State Capital in Austin, and the Halls of Hill in Washington, DC; been on the board for 10+ years, and was chairman of the board in 2012.

Why did you decide to become involved with ABC/CMEF? Starting out as a Heavy Equipment Rental Salesman, all I knew was… I needed to meet Contractors, and I was told that ABC was the place.

What’s your greatest achievement (personal or professional) and how has it shaped the person you are today? ABC adds value to people’s lives and careers. From training craft, to professional development; from business opportunities, to making life-long-friends, ABC is pure American, and it’s an organization based on Merit. As a BD/Sales-guy, I earned business based on my Merit. ABC has been great to my family and me for 30+ years.

What’s the best piece of advice you have to offer for someone new to the industry? Joining ABC is like joining a health-club… you know it’s a good idea and the right thing to do… then, you have to go to the club, and work it. The results are there. Then there’s the ‘give-back.’ When you go, and give to the Association, it gives back. And then you go and give back some more… So, join a committee, then chair a committee. The ROI is there. Volunteerism is at the heart of America… when you give, you end up being on the receiving end… And, life-long-friendships… they’re not a bad thing either. Godspeed, and I’ll see you at the next ABC event!
