Dominguez, Vanir Chairwoman and CEO. She added, "Jerry's expertise in management and organizational structure makes him an excellent fit for this critical role."
Throughout his tenure at Vanir, Avalos has leveraged his experience in the industry as well as the critical skills he learned while serving in the military.
"Being in the military gives you a tremendous amount of discipline," Avalos said. "I also gained a deep understanding for implementing processes and procedures which are critical when overseeing large projects and ensuring their timely delivery to clients."
In addition to serving on the California State University, Fresno Construction Management Industry Advisory Board, Avalos is also passionate about his community work. He has served on several boards and organizations including as president of the Mary Immaculate Queen School Parent Association, on MIQ's Financial Subcommittee and as a volunteer little league manager and coach.
