National Demolition Association announces new executive director

The National Demolition Association (NDA) board of directors has announced that Jeff Lambert will take over as executive director of the association effective Aug. 1. He will succeed Cheryl Caulfield, who served as executive director of the Washington-based organization since 2014.

Lambert brings extensive knowledge and expertise to NDA, according to the organization, with a career in construction trade associations focusing on membership recruitment, education program development and advocacy. He most recently served as vice president of member relations at the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), Arlington, Virginia. Prior to his work at ALEC, he held positions at the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC), Washington, and National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), Washington. Lambert looks to expand NDA’s reach within the industry and continue to showcase the association’s stature as the leading association for the demolition industry.

NDA President Scott Knightly welcomed Lambert to the association and praised Caulfield’s service and leadership over her tenure.

“NDA has experienced a number of achievements over the past four years,” Knightly says. “We have strengthened our member engagement and reinvigorated our annual convention and expo with the inclusion of more impactful education, networking and exhibit opportunities. The board enthusiastically welcomes Jeff to NDA, and we are confident he will continue this progress. We thank Cheryl for her service to the industry and association and wish her best of luck in her future endeavors.”
