The Bill Yeager Craft Professional of the Year Award was created by the ABC of Iowa Board of Directors in 2001 as a tribute to Bill Yeager, a founding member of ABC of Iowa. Bill's longtime involvement with ABC of Iowa was not soley about protecting the merit shop philosophy. Bill's motivation for advancing the cause of merit shop contractors was to provide an opportunity for young people to come into the construction trades, have the opportunity to learn the profession, and to become the very best craft professional that they could be.
