I've met a lot of wonderful people. I'm also concerned and very interested in our industry - where the industry is going, and what laws are coming in against us. Another key item is training and image. We have put a lot of effort into those things recently. I'm not the only one - a lot of my associates here in town that belong to AGC feel the same way I do.
Contractors have to stick together to make everything work.
Heaton has been an AGC officer for three years, and said he is excited about the prospect of leading the chapter into the new year. Heaton urged those at the general membership meeting to get their respective firms up to speed with the latest changes regarding the Internet, and promised that the Idaho chapter will do its part to stay abreast with the changing technological industry. Heaton said one of the biggest changes contractors are going to have to adjust to in the near future, which has already started to some degree, is accessing electronic plans online. Heaton also said that a significant reduction in national dues is likely to happen for general contractors in 2001. Martin expressed both gratitude and relief in completing her year as president of the Idaho chapter, and praised the AGC's staff members for their tireless work during the past year.
