Zach Green of Colas USA has been named as the 2026 board chair of the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA).
He succeeds Ted Baker of Blue Water Industries in the position at the US aggregates industry association.
“It’s an honor to serve as NSSGA’s next board chair,” said Green. “This association matters—not just in Washington, but back home in every state and community where our members operate, employ people, and supply the materials that quite literally build America.”
Green has 26 years of leadership experience across the Colas Group. He has guided major divisions such as Barrett Industries, Reeves Construction, HRI, IA and Delta Companies, leading large civil‑infrastructure operations across multiple states. Green has led major company turnarounds to record profitability and has continued to drive strategic change across several operating companies. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Mining Engineering from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. Green currently resides near Greenville, SC and is a devoted husband and father of three.
The NSSGA Annual Membership Meeting on March 3 also included recognition of outgoing leaders and award presentations. The first was the Barry K. Wendt Memorial Commitment Award and secondly, the Paul Mellott, Jr. Award for Political Excellence. The keynote speaker was Jon Lakefish who spoke on AI technology in the workplace.
NSSGA members’ next full Membership Meeting will be held in Washington D.C. at the Legislative & Policy Forum, September 20-23.
