OCA Community Service Work Receives National Recognition By AGC of America Projects led by Ohio Contractors Association volunteers were key in OCA being named an AGC in the Community recipient at the Associated General Contractors of America Convention, held last week in Las Vegas.
OCA, an AGC chapter in Ohio, was among a select group of five to receive the award that was chosen from nearly 30 applications from around the country. The AGC in the Community award is an initiative of AGC Charities Inc., designed to showcase the community service projects of AGC of America’s chapters and members. The awards recognize service projects that epitomize the essence of giving, through actual hands-on service and donations to charitable organizations.
Hands-on projects and donations to charitable organizations have been a long-standing core component of OCA membership chapters, with hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars contributed to various communities throughout the state each year. All OCA community service projects and initiatives are driven by volunteer leaders within each chapter.

Join Us In Washington, D.C. ForThe Congressional Fly-In This May
2017 could be the year of infrastructure in Washington, D.C. President Trump highlighted rebuilding infrastructure during his campaign, again on election night and as part of his inauguration address. As we await details about the Trump Infrastructure Initiative, one thing is clear, the construction industry's involvement into its development and enactment by Congress is vitally important to its success. While the five-year "Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act," or FAST Act, provided sufficient revenue to support the funding levels authorized in the legislation through FY 2020, additional revenue will be needed to support a growing program into the future. It is important that the Administration and Congress receive the message that any infrastructure proposal must address the long term solvency of the Highway Trust Fund. The 16th Annual Transportation Construction Coalition (TCC) Legislative Fly-In, scheduled for May 17-18, 2017 is well-timed to provide an opportunity for that input. OCA staff and members will be attending, and we urge you to join us.
At the TCC legislative briefing you will receive information about what policy and funding proposals are being considered. You will hear from key policy makers from Capitol Hill and the Administration and receive educational briefing materials on key industry priorities for your use in meeting with your congressional delegation. The Fly-In's reception will also provide you an opportunity to network with your industry peers and members of Congress and their staff.
The transportation construction industry cannot afford to miss this opportunity to help shape the future of our Nation's infrastructure investment.
Join hundreds of other industry leaders in delivering our message to Capitol Hill May 17-18 in Washington DC. This year's meeting will once again be held again at the Hyatt Regency Washington at 400 New Jersey Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20001. Make your reservations directly with the Hyatt Regency by calling 1-888-421-1442 or 1-202-737-1234. The room rate is $329 per night and the registration cut-off date is April 17.
If you have any questions about attending, please contact Angela Van Fossen, OCA’s Director of Legislative Affairs, at [email protected].
