If you are looking for a way to energize your live event, Brittany Chaapel from associated builders and contractors would suggest you give mobile a try. Listen in as we discussed how using fundraising tools like a live thermometer and text message donations nearly doubled their previous year.
5. ● ABC was founded in 1950 when seven contractors gathered
in Baltimore, Md., to create an association
● ABC is the merit shop construction industry's voice with
federal, state and local governments, as well as with the news
media
● ABC's mission is the advancement of the merit shop
construction philosophy, which encourages open competition
and a free enterprise approach that awards contracts based
solely on merit, regardless of labor affiliation
