If you work in-house at a construction firm and cover environmental issues, you may be interested in Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s peer discussion meeting on Feb. 7 at Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s headquarters in Arlington, Va.

Help Us Generate a Comprehensive Outlook for 2024 by Taking the Survey Each year around this time, Â鶹ÊÓƵ asks you – our members – to predict what next year will be like for your business. Â鶹ÊÓƵ has partnered with Sage to prepare questions that focus on expectations for market performance, hiring, labor market conditions, etc. Please take a moment to complete the survey here. Â鶹ÊÓƵ of America will use the survey results to help make the case with elected and appointed officials in support of key member priorities. The more people who complete the survey by Thursday, December 7, the more effective the results will be in supporting our work on your behalf.
