Your project has a budget and a deadline. Policy decisions can affect both, from funding for workforce training to the requirements attached to public projects. ABC Central Texas follows those issues and represents the contractors responsible for getting the work done.
That is why advocacy is part of your ABC membership.
ABC Central Texas’s Government Affairs team monitors issues affecting construction and represents merit shop contractors at the local, state, and federal levels. Its work includes advocating for apprenticeship funding and open competition, so more contractors can earn work based on their qualifications.
Members bring something lawmakers need: experience from the field. How a policy affects hiring, training, or the cost of delivering a project matters when decisions are being made.
ABC Action gives you a way to contact lawmakers and participate in ABC’s grassroots advocacy efforts.
