72 CONSTRUCTION LAS VEGAS ASSOCIATION PROFILES President eodore Roosevelt once said, "Every man owes a part of his time and money to the business or industry in which he is engaged. No man has a moral right to withhold his support from an organization that is striving to improve condi- tions within his sphere." is notion, in part, is what drives the Associated Builders and Con- tractors of Nevada and its members. ABC Nevada is the state chapter of a national construction trade as- sociation dedicated to the preserva- tion of free enterprise and open and fair competition in the construction industry. ABC is a member-driven organization committed to the bet- terment of the industry in which its members make a living. ABC is sometimes identi ed as an organization that represents the 85 percent of the construction industry that works "non-union, also called open or merit shop." e association is not o ended by that designation because it is essentially true. However, it is not the position of ABC that only non-union contrac- tors should be used on construction projects to the exclusion of union companies. Our philosophy holds that both merit contractors and union rms should work side-by- side, free of coercion or outside interference to provide on-time, on-budget construction with safety, quality and cost e ectiveness as its goal. Membership services focus on government a airs, education pro- grams, safety programs and member recognition. ABC Nevada is proud of the productive work its members have accomplished through the years to advance the interests of those who earn their living in construction. e past few years have easily been the most di cult in the history of the construction industry. However, the resilience and "can do" attitude of ABC members guarantees that in every aspect, the best is yet to come for Nevada's construction industry and the great men and women who have chosen construction as their career.
