Central Valley is proud to spotlight the community leadership of our own Dave Rhoden, whose dedication to service is making a lasting impact through the CATT Community Project (CATTCP), the charitable arm of the Contractors Association of Truckee Tahoe (CATT).
What is CATT Community Project (CATTCP)?
CATTCP is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 1999 to give back to the Truckee-Tahoe region. As the charitable extension of CATT, CATTCP unites builders, designers, and tradespeople to restore, rebuild, and reinvest in the community. The organization provides design and construction assistance to nonprofits and government agencies, focusing on projects that benefit the region, from historic restorations to supporting local youth and veterans.
Recent CATTCP projects include:
- Restoration of the historic Danforth Cottage
- Critical home repairs for elderly and disabled veterans
- Construction of new facilities for children, such as the Kidzone Museum
- The CATT Kids program, introducing youth to the trades
- The Jay Lebel Scholarship Fund, supporting students pursuing construction careers
CATTCP is governed by a dedicated Board of Directors and is driven by the mission:
“To be a conduit for funds, materials, volunteerism, and project coordination towards the restoration or construction of selected structures that are deemed beneficial to the community.”
Dave Rhoden’s Involvement
Dave Rhoden, Sales Manager at Caseywood and Central Valley team member, currently serves as Chairman of the Board for CATTCP.
Dave has played a pivotal role in coordinating donations, materials, and volunteer efforts for key community projects. His leadership was instrumental in projects like the Kids Truckee River Railroad Platform, where he secured essential materials and rallied support from local businesses and volunteers.
Dave’s commitment goes beyond project management-he actively engages CATT members, inspires collaboration, and ensures that every initiative reflects the compassion and skill of the region’s building professionals. His recent letter as Chairman highlights the organization’s ongoing work and invites others to join in making a difference.
“As builders, designers, and tradespeople, we shape more than structures–we shape community. Every project reflects the heart of our industry, and your support makes it all possible.”

Central Valley is honored to have leaders like Dave Rhoden on our team, building a stronger community-one project at a time.
Letter From Our Chairman of CATTCP:
Dear Fellow Members,
As builders, designers, and tradespeople, we shape more than structures—we shape community. Nowhere is that more evident than in the work of CATT Community Project (CATTCP), our 501(c)(3) charitable arm that has been giving back to the Truckee-Tahoe region since 1999.
CATTCP is more than a name—it’s a powerful extension of who we are as an association. Through the generous donation of time, materials, and expertise from CATT members, CATTCP has brought meaningful change to our region, restoring, rebuilding, and reinvesting in the people and places that define our community.
Recent projects include the restoration of the historic Danforth Cottage, preserving a unique piece of our shared heritage, and critical home repairs for elderly and disabled veterans, with leadership and craftsmanship provided by Nobility Works Construction and projects for the children in our community such as the new Kidzone Museum. These efforts are a testament to the compassion and skill within our membership.
We’re also investing in the future through CATT Kids, a youth affinity program that introduces young people to the trades and inspires the next generation of builders. And through the Jay Lebel Scholarship Fund, we’ve helped local students pursue education and careers in the construction industry.
Governed by a dedicated 15-member Board of Directors, CATTCP meets monthly to advance
its mission: “To be a conduit for funds, materials, volunteerism, and project coordination towards the restoration or construction of selected structures that are deemed beneficial to the community.”
Every project reflects the heart of our industry—and your support makes it all possible.
You’ll be seeing even more of CATT Community Project at upcoming CATT events! This August, we’re hosting a special CATTCP Summer Mixer & Fundraiser at Austin Ridge sponsored by CMJR Construction—a chance to gather, celebrate our impact, and raise critical funds to support future projects. And in September, we’re bringing the community together for a fun night of baseball with the Reno Aces, with proceeds helping fund CATTCP initiatives. These events are a great way to connect with fellow members, support a meaningful cause, and be part of the ongoing story of building community through service.
To learn more or get involved, please visit the PROJECTS page on our website or contact me, Dave Rhoden, Chairman of CATTCP at rhodend@caseywood.com. We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished, and we look forward to building more together in the coming years.
In Service to Each Other,
David Rhoden
