Michelle Dardeno

 

Boston, MA The Associated General Contractors of Massachusetts (AGC MA) welcomes Michelle Dardeno as financial controller. She comes to AGC MA from the Labor Movement for the Massachusetts AFL-CIO, where she worked as comptroller, overseeing all accounting and administrative activities for the six entities housed within the Massachusetts AFL-CIO. 

“I first began working as a bookkeeper for an architectural woodworker while attending Lasell College. I knew then that I had found the work that I loved doing,” said Dardeno. “It’s satisfying to come full circle and return to working in the trades.” 

While working with the Massachusetts AFL-CIO, Dardeno worked closely on political, legislative, climate and workforce development initiatives to ensure that all administrative and accounting functions were completed and up to date, guaranteeing the success of a myriad of AFL-CIO programs and events. During her tenure, she made many improvements to systems and worked diligently to ensure that the organization would successfully complete its annual audit and meet all filing requirements.

“After an extensive search, we are very pleased to have Michelle join our team. AGC MA is in great shape financially and Michelle’s leadership will help us take it to the next level,” said ACG MA CEO John Ferrante.
