Our company has been a member of ACI since its founding in 1929 and couldn’t be happier with our continued membership. The staff does an amazing job and is always there to help. Whether it’s the easy access to the plan room (virtually or in-person) for project leads, the first-class educational classes, and safety training courses, workforce development solutions, or a multitude of networking opportunities, ACI has you covered. – Scott Whittle, Hummel Industries, Inc.
ACI is our go-to organization when we are looking for opportunities for networking, leadership, education, safety, and workforce. The events provide a true representation of our industry from general contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and professional service providers, which allows for building new connections and enhancing existing connections. – Whitney Eckert, Jostin Construction, Inc.
What I love most about ACI is the sense of community; the way it brings people together and elevates our corner of the construction industry. The relationships I’ve made here are valuable to TriVersity and also nurture my personal sense of connection to the community. Thanks, ACI! – Jen Fischer, Numbers by Jen. formerly TriVersity Construction
I’ve been a supporter and active participant at ACI for several years because I believe that the construction industry needs fans to cheer on the wonderful work they do across our city. I also believe that careers in the construction industry can change lives and help families. I want to do my part to support the industry and the professionals in it. – Michael Raidt, Mercer Advisors
Our company has been involved in the ACI organization since we opened our Cincinnati regional office in 1982. I am proud to have personally been active with ACI since 1992. It is the premier construction trade association, and it is inclusive of all contractors; open shop and union. I have developed essential relationships through ACI that have led to many business opportunities. This is a result of the mutual trust developed because of our ACI membership. – Mark Douglas, Ben Hur Construction Company, Inc (retired)
There are many accolades one can offer to describe the varied training programs, events, and services that ACI provides its members. For me, however, ‘The Best in Class’ is the truest reflection of this superior association. – Majid Samarghandi, Triton Services Inc
