Ever come to an ABC mixer and notice members sporting sparkly, colorful name badges? Ever wonder what those are about? We’re pulling back the curtain at this PAC Lunch & Learn hosted by the Hampton Roads Young Professionals Council.
Get a quick, approachable overview of how ABC advocates for the construction industry through legislative and political engagement—including ABC’s federal priorities, what ABC PAC does, and why member participation matters.
Lunch is provided. Come feed your curiosity… and your stomach (and maybe walk away with a sparkly badge of your own)!
Please note: Young Professionals events are for ABC-VA members age 40 and under, offering a space to connect with industry peers.
