Register to Attend Contracting Success in Las Vegas
BSCAI is proud to invite you to 2019 Contracting Success Conference, which will be held November 20-22 in Las Vegas. This event is the perfect opportunity to network with peers and learn from industry experts.
What happens in Vegas doesn’t always have to stay there—especially when it comes to the tools you’ll learn at our amazing peer-to-peer education sessions that span six different tracks. And the hottest tickets on the Strip are BSCAI’s two keynote speakers that you cannot miss.
Stephen Covey, co-founder of CoveyLink and the FranklinCovey Speed of Trust Practice, is one of the most sought-after speaker and advisor on trust, leadership, ethics and high performance. He is also the author of 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, an international bestseller on effectiveness and goal setting. His keynote “The SPEED of Trust,” will discuss insights from his book of the same name and challenge your age-old assumption that trust is merely a soft, social virtue.
Marilyn Sherman is a motivational speaker and author who has traveled around the country inspiring audiences to get out of their comfort zone and “get a front-row seat in life.” In her keynote session “Front-Row Leadership™ How Top Performers Never Settle for Balcony Seats,” she will help conference goers discover the secrets that higher performers use to be in the front-row.
Other education highlights from the conference include BSCAI’s Bidding and Estimating Seminar, which is designed for novices of the BSC industry to learn a step-by-step approach to pricing in today’s competitive marketplace. Or stop in for our Productivity Seminar, which demonstrate how strategic refinement of key processes will enhance productivity while meeting quality objectives and Supervisor Seminar, where you will learn strategies for employee training and employee communication techniques.

BSCAI Submits Chinese Tariff Exclusion Request Letter to USTR
Recently, BSCAI formally submitted a letter to the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) requesting they remove products utilized by building service contractors from “List 4” of the Section 301 Chinese tariffs. These tariffs were announced by the Trump Administration on May 13 and would apply additional duties of 25% on 3,805 Chinese products worth $300 billion.
BSCAI urged the Administration to remove a series of products used by the industry, as a 25% tariff would result in adverse consequences for the industry and others. For a copy of the letter or for questions, contact Kevin McKenney at kmckenney@bscai.org.
