Being part of an ABCSD committee is a members-only benefit and a great way to develop new skills, forge relationships with fellow members, and help shape the chapter’s activities.
This committee assesses and identifies candidates for public office and ballot initiatives which will further advance our merit shop apprentice programs, and support fair and open competition in the construction industry. The committee informs our members on critical political issues impacting their freedom to do work as merit shop contractors.
Meets the first Wednesday of each month, 11:30 a.m., ABCSD Boardroom.
Coming in 2023!

Unilateral Apprenticeship Committees (UAC)
The Unilateral Apprenticeship Committees meet monthly. The Committees are responsible for overseeing the administration and enforcement of the apprenticeship program standards. The ABC apprenticeship programs cannot maintain their state approval without active and involved training committee members to oversee the business of the programs. With the continued dedication from our UAC members, ABC apprenticeship training programs will continue to provide quality training and produce the skilled workers of tomorrow.
