ABC provides financial support to the UW Construction Management Program to help defray the cost of sending students to competitions throughout the country. This year 46 students competed, including four from the Western Washington ABC Student Chapter competition in Hawaii where they placed first. They also placed third in marine construction and second in mechanical construction in national competitions. In regional competitions, UW teams placed first in multi-family, third in commercial and third in heavy civil. Your dues dollars go to this worthy effort in helping talented young people advance in our industry.
In addition, ABC/WW President Kathleen Garrity is a guest lecturer at a senior seminar course every year. Some students agree with ABC’s positions, while others do not, but at least she gets them thinking!
ABC/WW has also contributed to the fund that has created the Pacific NW Center for Construction Education & Research at the old Sandpoint facility. If you’d like to find out more about ABC’s support, please call Kathleen at (800) 640-7789.
