Industry education and recruitment is a priority for the Arizona Builders Alliance. For that reason, the ABA is raising scholarship money for deserving University of Arizona students enrolled in the construction-related fields of study.

Since the inception of the Bill Lloyd Sr. Scholarship in recognition of his role in the development of the Tucson commercial construction industry, ABA members have raised $149,972 in scholarship funds to assist UA College of Engineering students.

ABA firms also have contributed $144,100 to assist UA College of Architecture Planning and Landscape Architecture (CAPLA) students.

ABA members are encouraged to make a tax-deductible scholarship in their company’s name and devote these funds to deserving UA students.

Engage LDF Graduates in support of the mission of Arizona Builders Alliance by:

• Providing a forum for purposeful discussion of industry challenges, opportunities and best practices.
• Acting as a resource to ABA Committee Chairs for support on current issues and actions towards initiatives.
• Continuing to Build a network of future leaders for the industry and for the ABA.

The Southern Arizona Young Builders Committee seeks to build and better the community and the construction industry by educating and building the bridge between the next generation of leaders and established members of the ABA.

The YBC holds networking, educational events and jobsite tours to create relationships between young people in the industry and develop the skill of networking.
