BIO:

Stuart Binstock served as President and CEO of the Construction Financial Management Association (CFMA) from 2011-2023. In that capacity, CFMA recognized that there was a serious problem related to Suicide in the construction industry and dedicated time and resources to that initiative beginning in 2016. Recognizing that the issue was far greater than just its members and extended to the entire construction industry, Binstock led the efforts to form the Construction Industry Alliance for Suicide Prevention (CIASP). CIASP was formed in 2018, with the goal of reducing suicides in the construction industry and bringing the entire industry together to see solutions to this serious problem.

Since 2018, Binstock has served on the board of trustees of CIASP. Since his retirement from CFMA in 2023, he has focused his attention on traveling the country and speaking about suicide prevention to a variety of groups, including associations, general contractors, subcontractors, and others connected to the industry. In 2023, Binstock received the first ever CIASP Champion Award for “his unmatched dedication and passion for suicide prevention and mental health promotion in the construction industry.”

Stuart received his JD from the Catholic University School of Law in Washington DC and has a BS in industrial and Labor Relations from Cornell University.
