Construction Appreciation Week will be celebrated September 16-20
to acknowledge and thank the millions of hardworking men and
women across the country who contribute to the formation of this
nation’s infrastructure, facilities, products and services. The Ohio
Contractors Association and the Associated General Contractors of
Ohio would like to participate and recognize our members and their
employees by using this opportunity to reach out via social media
and present a positive story about careers in construction.
To that end, the I Build America-Ohio initiative that we are all a part
of has developed a series of postings that we would appreciate your
involvement in sharing with those you are connected with on the
worldwide web. While we at OCA and AGC-Ohio could initiate these
messages and request that you move them to others by “sharing”
them, we believe the message is more impactful if you are able to
share it directly with your audience.
We ask that you refer to the downloadable PDF to the right, present
it to the individual that produces your social media postings and have
one posting per day during the week of September 16 sent out. Each
day’s posting has a theme and a goal. Please feel free to modify
pictures and text to best represent your company, but please try
marry your message and picture/video to keep close to the theme
of the day. Should you have any questions about your posting,
please contact Claire Krawsczyn, Program Director, or Parker
Brown, Program Manager, for I Build America-Ohio. Their contact
information can be found on the next-to-last page of the
attachment.
Each effort to encourage consideration of a construction career
can make a difference in shaping the perspective of a member of
tomorrow’s constructionworkforce. Thank you for being a part of
that effort.
