MEET OUR TEAM

ECA's President and CEO serves you, the member contractor. When difficult questions arise concerning contract interpretation, union issues, regulations or any other industry-related topics, start your search for answers with Todd. Drawing on his experience, he can often provide a quick solution, but if he can't, he will refer you to an expert who can. The success of our members is success for ECA, so help the association serve you. Suggestions for events such as seminars, charity projects and legislative issues are encouraged. Call us at (518) 869-0961 or send us a message via the Contact Us Page.

Todd G. Helfrich
President and CEO

Todd, our President and CEO, holds down the fort and keeps our mission top of mind. He’s always here for you, anytime and for any reason. He’s a Buffalo Bills fan and enjoys skiing the local slopes and riding ATVs. Though he represents the association at numerous conferences and meetings throughout the year, he always finds time for his family.

Dustin Henry
Planroom Manager

Dustin is second in command of our Planroom, but when he’s not at work he enjoys playing guitar and bowling.  His sense of humor is keen and he keeps our office laughing.  Need plans? Stop by and have a chat, you’ll be glad you did.

Laura L. Regan
Vice President

You all know Laura as our Vice President, and if you’ve interacted with her, you understand her passion for her job.  Almost always the last to leave, she keeps everything running smoothly.  In her free time, she enjoys golfing, crafting and reading.  She and her husband have an 11-year-old Plott Hound who is a champion of hunting snacks and tracking down the best spot on the bed each night.

Gail Muller
​Planroom Data and Information Specialist

Gail is our lead reporter for construction news and information.  She's new to our team and we look forward to introducing her to the ECA membership.

Daniel P. Dipace
​Finance Manager

As our Finance Manager, Dan keeps us on budget and makes sure our coffee supply never runs out.  As a new dad to Logan, he enjoys spending time with his family; cleaning the pool, not so much.  As an avid hunter and fisherman, he looks forward to spending weekends outdoors.
