Ray O’Connor, president and CEO of Topcon Positioning Group, was formally inducted into membership of the National Academy of Construction (NAC) at its annual meeting in Nashville, Tennessee.
The mission of the National Academy of Construction is to recognize and honor individuals for their distinguished contributions to the industry and to share this reservoir of expertise as a service to the nation.
Membership is by nomination from an existing member, then a rigorous examination by the NAC membership committee before being sent for approval by a vote of all members. O’Connor was nominated by Greg Bentley, CEO of Bentley Systems, an infrastructure engineering software developer.
“I want to thank Greg Bentley for my nomination and all members for my acceptance," O'Connor said. "I realize this privilege comes with responsibilities to the Academy, and I look forward to adding my experience and expertise to this esteemed body as it continues to serve the construction industry and our nation."
O’Connor joined Topcon Corporation in 1993, in charge of developing the construction laser business in North America. Today, he heads the Topcon Positioning Group, with global employment in excess of 2,000. He also serves on the board of directors of the Association of Equipment Manufacturers and is a trustee on the University of California Merced Foundation.
