How ABA Membership Creates Measurable Impact for Contractors

Why Membership Matters

Joining an association isn’t about paying dues, it’s about gaining value. For contractors, suppliers, and service providers, the true test of membership is whether it delivers measurable impact for their business.

That’s why the Arizona Builders Alliance (ABA) is different. More than 380 member companies rely on ABA not only for representation but also for real results: stronger advocacy, better training, broader connections, and a culture of community service.

Advocacy Impact: Protecting Your Business

ABA members don’t just have a seat at the table, they have a strong advocate working on their behalf at every level of government.

• Policy Wins. From procurement reform to contractor payment protections, ABA advocacy saves contractors time and money.
• Collective Voice. Membership ensures your business isn’t navigating policy challenges alone.
• Direct Engagement. Through committees and PAC involvement, members shape the very policies that affect their future.

The apprenticeship program doesn’t just train electricians, it builds long-term careers and provides contractors with skilled, reliable employees.

Training and leadership development don’t just strengthen individuals, they strengthen companies. ABA delivers programs for every level of the workforce:

• Apprenticeship Program: A pipeline of skilled tradespeople ready to work.
• Leadership Development Forum (LDF): Preparing mid-career professionals for leadership roles.

When your employees grow, so does your business.
