Association Annual Report

摘要

Professional and trade associations are the lifeblood of the construction industry. Among their many functions, they set standards of best practice and promote their use. They actively work to make jobsites a safer place to work. They provide forums that enable members to share vital information. They communicate their members' views on vital issues to Congress and other legislative and regulatory bodies. The Association Annual Report Section provides associations with an opportunity to communicate their top initiatives and programs to the diverse readership of ENR. The associations participating in the 2005 Annual Report special advertising section represent a broad range of specialties within the construction industry. Their imperatives are highly varied. What they have in common is the understanding that the construction process has moved beyond parochial interests and competition in which there are winners and losers. Instead, there is a recognition that a healthy industry depends on the success of all of the individuals whose efforts and expertise are combined to produce and deliver successful projects.
