See What Our Members Have to Say

The CAWGC has been a great way to meet a lot of influential and knowledgeable people. While the social aspect of the organization is quite enjoyable, the things we learn from each other are quite invaluable.

Lori DuPree, DuPree Construction

My business has benefitted from CAWGC membership most notably when reaching Collective Bargaining Agreements with local unions. But the best part of membership is undoubtedly the friendships I made and the people I met over the years.

Tony Corsetti, Corsetti Structural Steel

The membership events are a great benefit that allows me to meet other contractors, gain new ideas, and new business. The membership is getting more diverse every year with members that have innovative and impactful ideas. There is tremendous value in a CAWGC membership, and I hope every potential member can realize this upon joining.
