Springfield, MO
It was recently announced that two of the region’s biggest commercial building associations, The Builders’ Association and the Kansas City Chapter of AGC, will merge memberships on Jan. 1, 2023, to become The Builders, a chapter of the AGC. Unified, the association will have over 600 construction firms and related businesses as members, and all current Builders’ members will have access to new and expanded benefits, including discount programs, training and advocacy at the highest levels of government. “Our members have told us they are most concerned about workforce shortages and supply chain problems,” said Rob Cleavinger, Board of Directors chair for The Builders’ Association & JE Dunn Construction Company senior vice president. “With the strength of our two association memberships merged and engaged at the national level, we are in a stronger position to be able to support solutions to these issues.” www.buildersassociation.com
