Certification Commission Presentation Presented at the 39th Annual International Conference Associated Schools of Construction - Clemson University (April 10, 2003) |
|
| I’ve known Roger Liska for many years now. When he asked me to be today’s speaker, I took the easy way out and asked him “What do you want me to say?” He said, “Talk about Certification. Tell them how it can help them.” | |

Shopping and Bid Peddling: It may be legal. But it’s certainly not ethical! |
|
In 1995, the Associate General Contractors of America, the American Subcontractors Association, and the Associated Specialty Contractors issued this joint statement on the issue of bid shopping and bid peddling: “Bid shopping or bid peddling are abhorrent business practices that threaten the integrity of the competitive bidding system that serves the construction industry and the economy so well. |

| Address before the American Council for Construction Education | |
| I would like to begin by telling you a story that I first heard at my church about young boy who was moved from foster home to foster home. Like many who come from this lifestyle, he didn’t receive the care and attention of his natural parents. He was a discipline problem. He was a behavioral problem. He wasn’t a good student. And he was unchurched. | |

| The Future of Workforce Development: Professionalism through Education, Teamwork, and Lifelong Learning | |
| The future of the construction industry hinges on our workforce. Many well-respected industry sources are beginning to sound the alarm to focus our attention on the future of workforce development. Their message is clear: If we expect to attract and keep good people in construction, we must improve the construction industry’s image and we must do it quickly. | |

Prove
Yourself: Take the Test |
|
Not
willing to sit for a professional-level exam? Then imagine yourself
as an accomplished professional who's successfully completed hundreds
of construction projects and who's now being called as an expert
witness. Imagine, too, that the judge discounts your testimony because
he recognizes the architect and the engineer as the only "professionals"
who testified. |
