Competing For & Landing a Solid Workforce Brian A. Moore, FMI Corporation
Because of the Great Recession, nearly 2 million workers left the construction industry and many aren’t expected to return. As a result nearly 83% of contractors say they’ve had trouble finding skilled workers. The problem will only get worse as the economy improves. In this workshop we will explore ways to improve your chances of attracting, hiring and keeping the best workers. Though there are no “silver bullet” solutions, you’ll leave with practical advice to improve your chances for success.
Provide a deserving college student the chance to learn from the best in the industry. Sponsor a student from the Construction Industry Management program to attend the ASCC Annual Conference for only $150 per student. All sponsors will be recognized in the conference handouts. Even if you can’t attend, you can introduce a student to the concrete industry and ASCC through your generosity (see registration form).

On Friday, November 22, 1963, at 12:30 pm CT in Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Texas, the 35th President of the United States was assassinated by a sniper. After a ten-month investigation by the Warren Commission, they concluded that Kennedy was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone. Could the CIA, Mafia, Fidel Castro, or the KGB have been involved? Were the FBI investigation and the Warren Commission Report seriously flawed? Was it really a “lone gunman” that changed history? The afternoon’s experiences: An audio tour of the Sixth Floor of the Book Depository, visit the “grassy knoll,” Oswald’s rooming house, Neely Street, Officer Tippet’s shooting location and the Texas Theater where Oswald was captured, Jack Ruby’s Club Carousel and the Courthouse where Ruby shot Oswald.
