Trade Associations Anyone?


I'm a NUCA (Nat'l Utility Contractors Assoc.) member. Anyone else belong to any trade clubs?

I also used to belong the Hee-Man-Woman-Haters club, but that was before Froggy quit.

Froggy? You lost me Mike. What opportunities / benefits does NKBA afford you? How much are the annual dues?

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh. Mike must be a lot older than me. I only go as far back as Giligan's Island or The Flinstones. Lil' Rascals is before my time.

Re: Trade Associations Anyone?


I have been considering joining NARI, mostly for the exposure to new contractors.

There a lot of remodeling GC's in NARI and like 2 excavating contractors in this area that are members. $600/yr.

I am just not sure if I want to deal with a bunch of price shopping asles. I have enough of those already.

We belong to the Motor Transport Assoc. to keep up on the trucking stuff. I have thought of joining the AGC as an associate or other organization for all the safety and training materials available.
