Team spirit. It’s what makes construction projects flow from start to finish, and it’s the energy that drives ABC’s Convention 2020, which brings together the best of the best—from the office to the field—this month in Nashville, Tennessee.
Embodying the high-skills, high-pressure environment of real-world construction projects are two hallmark events: the ABC National Craft Championships and the ABC Construction Management Competition, each celebrating the talents of the people that make our industry tick. Without them, our businesses could not flourish the way they do.
This issue, which includes our annual 2020 Schools of Construction Directory, highlights college and university programs that are prepping candidates for top leadership roles at our nation’s leading general and specialty contracting firms. With the industry facing unprecedented workforce shortages, it’s so important to celebrate and support the next generation of engineers, construction managers, designers and technical experts.
Also, ABC is proud to announce its 2020 Top Performers in a supplement to this issue of the magazine. These employers are among the safest and most innovative in the nation, and we hope you’ll enjoy checking out the rankings and reading about the trends these leaders see emerging in the next 10 years.
Also taking place at Convention 2020 are the annual Excellence in Construction® Awards, National Safety Excellence Award and Diversity Awards—stay tuned for coverage of all the winners in our April issue.
