Membership
in the Association of California Construction Managers is open to firms and
individuals sharing a common interest in the promotion of construction
management as a professional service. The Association's membership represents a
broad spectrum of the construction industry.
Membership
Benefits
ACCM members receive regular updates and alerts on all legislative and state issues
of importance in the construction arena.
Regular
meetings and special webinars with guest speakers provide a forum for
construction managers to voice their concerns and gain helpful
information that directly affects school facilities construction.
Lastly,
membership provides a
great opportunity to network and to share your thoughts and knowledge with state
officials and fellow construction managers on important issues pertaining to
school facilities construction.

As a statewide organization, one of the most valuable benefits you will receive is that ACCM represents you on industry issues, even when you cannot be present. Whether it's school facility grant levels, alternative delivery method options, or scope of practice issues, ACCM will be at the table in negotiating the future of construction management practice for the K-14 education facility industry.
We encourage you to join in the growing momentum of influence and activities of the Association of California Construction Managers!
