In today’s rapidly evolving construction landscape, the value of education and continuous training has never been greater. The demands of our industry — marked by technological advancements, increasing safety standards and a growing need for skilled labor — call for a workforce that is not only competent but adaptable, innovative and future-focused. At the heart of this transformation is the Rocky Mountain Chapter of the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC), dedicated to equipping its members with the knowledge and resources necessary to succeed.

Seventy-five years ago, a handful of builders made a simple, courageous bet: If America preserved free enterprise, fair and open competition, and the right to reward merit, our industry would raise its game — and our communities would rise with it. That bet became Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC). It is still paying dividends today — both nationally and here in the Rocky Mountains, where our chapter is celebrating its 50th anniversary.
