board of directors.
“With strengths that lie at the intersection of deep infrastructure
expertise, demonstrated project and people leadership, and exceptional business
knowledge, Adam is well-positioned to serve CMT as president,” Bailey said.
“But perhaps above all, Adam is a life-long learner who can build great teams,
communicate goals and expectations to those teams, and provide appropriate
autonomy and accountability to encourage individual personal growth and
successful outcomes."
In addition to his responsibilities at CMT, Burns has served in leadership
capacities across industry groups including ACEC Indiana; American Society of
Civil Engineers (ASCE), Metropolitan Indianapolis Branch; and Bradley

“It is a great honor to follow in the footsteps of Bill Bailey, Dan
Meckes and so many other distinguished CMT leaders," Burns said. "They’ve set the bar high,
ensuring that CMT continues to deliver quality infrastructure, foster a culture
of care within our teams and communities, and challenge ourselves to innovate
and improve as professionals and leaders."
