Íæż½ã½ã of America is recognized as the organization of choice for 12,500+ specialty contractor firms. Specialty contractor members learn the "business" of construction by connecting through seminars, networking events, meetings, improved contract documents, and the to implement and influence better business practices and improve our bottom line. Íæż½ã½ã is committed to being an advocate for issues that impact the entire construction community.
The Íæż½ã½ã of America Specialty Contractors Council (SCC) is comprised of specialty contractor members from across the country. Just recently, the SCC met at the Íæż½ã½ã 90th Annual Convention in San Diego, CA and continued its mission to identify, pursue and resolve issues critical to the success of the Íæż½ã½ã Specialty Contractor in the interest of promoting best practices throughout the construction industry. In addition to a roundtable discussion on "hot topics" such as card check and immigration at the SCC meeting, the SCC hosted a dynamic panel and open forum entitled "The Cash Flow Implications of Retention." A report on these meetings can be found within this issue of Specialty News.
