The Oregon Building Congress
Your Connection to High Paying Careers in Construction
OBC President's Message:
The building industry provides a great life with benefits and challenges. It presents a decent family wage and an awesome variety of interesting people to work with. I believe that life without challenges has little to offer anyone who truly desires to be the best that they can be.
I consider it a blessing to be surrounded by terrific people like those I work with and have the privilege to serve with at Oregon Building Congress. It is our desire to provide new and real opportunities to the next generation of tradespersons and building professionals by opening up new educational avenues and debunking some of the myths surrounding construction. We accomplish these goals with five major efforts:
- Student Programs,
- Teacher Workshops,
- Building Futures Magazine,
- OBC's Sustainable Building Initiative, and
- the Academy for Architecture, Construction & Engineering (ACE).
Please explore the Get Involved page to discover how you can become part of the winning team that is OBC. I invite you to come on in and join us as we work together to make our community and our industry a better place.
Sincerely,
Neil O’Connor
President
