Joe Moretto of Pearce & Moretto won the Charter Cup award from the Associated Builders and Contractors Delaware Chapter.
This award is presented annually to the ABC contractor member who exemplifies the Merit Shop philosophy and has contributed most to the success of the association.
According to a release, Moretto has always supported ABC’s efforts to protect free enterprise and open competition in Delaware. He served on the ABC Delaware Board of Directors for six years and as ABC Delaware Chair in 2013. He was also a member of the ABC National Board of Directors from 2012 – 2014.
Moretto, his company, and family, have been active in community service. They were instrumental in building a playground for disabled kids for the Exceptional Care for Children charity. They have volunteered for all ABCares events including Girls, Inc., bell ringing for the Salvation Army, Kind to Kids Toy Drive and others.
Moretto is also a member of the ABC Legislative/Legal Rights Committee and has been a strong supporter and contributor of both our local Political Action Committee and national Political Action Committee, which helps elect pro-merit shop legislators, an ABC release noted.
