Apprenticeship – it is not just the UA!
What can an association do to positively impact trends in
apprenticeship?
The JATCs are the heart and soul of trade workforce development.
This session explores tips and techniques for associations and how our
participation is essential on committees and trusts. An actual JATC
coordinator will answer questions about best practices on all things
apprenticeship.
Interviewer: Ed Kommers
Interviewee: PJ Moss, Training Coordinator
for Seattle Area Pipe Trades
Why Your Role Matters on the Trust Funds!
What all execs should know about the role of the Association on
Trust Funds
The Association and the Exec have an important role on the trust funds
with an impact on bargaining. This panel session presents the
importance and impacts of the Exec’s role on trust funds and
describes the obligations of the association.
Moderator: Ed Kommers
Panelists: Jeff Gaecke and Richard Sawhill
A New Spin on UA Recruiting
Ideas on how our associations can best support the UA growth
initiative efforts at the local level
The UA is emphasizing the recruitment of workers beyond
apprenticeship. This goes beyond the old fashioned “organizing”
and focuses on marketing to people and non-union firms. This
session presents practices on how the association can best
participate in this effort and meet the needs
of our contractors.
Moderator: Ed Kommers
Presenters: Tim Brink and David Davia
Avoiding Tech Blunders
Sketchy practices in technology for the association and
how to avoid them
Case studies on what works and what doesn’t as
discovered in recent MCAA ELI technology reviews.
Presenter: Aaron Hall
2018 AEC Best Practices Conference
Bargaining Boot Camp
The as-yet-untold and not so secret keys to success
Many resources exist to help with basic bargaining-
what are they and how can they best be used?
Moderator: Bob Looman
Keep Out of Jail
Good governance is critical to an association’s success. How
does your association rank on the multitude of statutory
requirements?
Steve Lamb hosts a quiz game show!
Stayin’Alive: Revenue Alternatives
An association’s alternatives to declining revenues - A case study
Many of our associations have seen hours and industry fund revenues decline.
This module explores the case study of one non-traditional management model
that developed over time to manage multiple construction associations
comprised of both industry-fund and non-industry fund groups. In addition to
lessons in leveraging the many economies of scale, there are examples of
revenue generation and demonstrating value that can be gleaned from
experience with dues-funded associations that translate directly to industry-fund
associations.
Presenters: Robert Pope and Valerie Pope
The Millennial Stampede
New approaches to engage the next generation of our member
contractor employees with the association
This session is designed to encourage brainstorming of ideas. Our
contractor members are going through a generation change that
will significantly impact the association. Participate in this session to
explore how this transition impacts the association’s structure,
culture, and programs. Format will be idea lightning rounds with
chosen table captains.
