ISA Construction Career Scholarship

In memory of Jerry R. Reynolds

Jerry Reynolds was President of ISA five times, more than any person in the association's history. He also served as a state chapter president more times than anyone in American Subcontractors Association's history, too. His terms were 1977, 1978, 1979, 1990, and 1991. Had he not stepped forward during the difficult days of 1990-1991, it is probable that ISA would have folded. However, Jerry, having been president during the days when ISA was the largest construction trade association in Indiana, was determined that it live and eventually thrive. Through his confidence, his perseverance, his determination, and perhaps most importantly, endearing love of life and fellow man, Jerry inspired others to help him in making sure ISA continued. In memory of the thousand of hours Jerry gave on behalf of ISA, the association offers a scholarship to aid an individual in their pursuit of a construction career.
