Joint ABC Industrial Contractors Council Steering Committee and
GBRIA Board of Directors
The Board of Directors of
GBRIA recognize the importance of addressing strategic issues with the leaders
of our merit shop contractor community. Direct communication with the
Associated Builders and Contractors Industrial Contractors Council Steering
Committee provides an avenue for important issues helping both industry and the
contractor community improve efficiencies.
The joint committee
identified five top issues to work on. These issues include:
1. Workforce
Development
2. Cost Reduction
3. Environment
4. Legislative
5. Industry Image
The committee has
focused its efforts on Workforce Development over the last several years.
Their efforts have yielded a common definition for a certified craftsperson,
a vision for funding craft training in our area that includes more public
funding, and a Non-English Speaking workers guideline for plant that would like
to use these workers. |
