clients, their subcontractors, and architects
that build outstanding projects. The
winning projects have to be built without
incident, they have to be built to the highest
quality, they have to deliver exception value,
and there’s a very rigorous process that, in
order to win at the national level, you have
to win at the local level. It’s a big event for us
and it’s something that our members really
cherish— something that gives them
recognition—and the owners love it.
BUSINESSWORLD:
Talk tome about
the next five years. If we were to have this
conversation again in 2019, how do you
anticipate the industrymight look five years
from now that’s different from the way it is
now? Andwhat sorts of things do you think
you’ll be paying themost attention to at that
time period?
BELLAMAN:
Every year, we strategically
plan for five years out. We have long-term
strategic objectives that we focus on that
will take us to a world-class level in safety,
political advocacy, workforce development,
growing our membership, diversifying our
membership, as well as increasing our
technological capabilities.
