Tony Stewart, SKANSKA, presents at
SACC's Annual Meeting

SACC's annual meeting was held at Hotel Ă„ndra in Seattle.

After an great buffet and time for socializing and networking, the members proceeded with electing the board for 2008.

Afthe the formal proceeedings, Tony Stewart from SKANSKA, gave a very interesting presantation of SKANSKA as well as the cosntruction industry in the United States and the Puget Sound region in particular.
SKANKSA recently (XXXX) acquired XXXX, a big and long time construction conglomerate in the U.S.. Making this gigantic investment, has given SKANKSA a strong foot hold in the very competitive North American market and a participation in many high profile public and private projects across the nation.

Tony's presentation was followed by a lively Q&Q session, ranging from regional transportation projects, via "green building", to how Swedish ownership was received in the conservative American construction sector.

We thank Tony for taking time this evening giving us an "insider's" view of what most of us only read about in the papers!
