Welcome

Dear Friends, Welcome to our 7th Annual High-Level Networking Luncheon.

For the 2nd year we are meeting at IBEW Local 302, and we are grateful for their hospitality and your unwavering support as we once again come together to fulfill the original purpose of this luncheon: networking with colleagues and friends to keep Contra Costa’s economy moving forward and our workers working!

Certainly, the past year plus has been one full of unique challenges and hardships for many of us in our communities. That said, we are proud of our members and their commitment as essential workers to continue on during the pandemic building and maintaining our vital infrastructure, hospitals, housing, schools, energy facilities, and so much more.

We are all stronger when we work together. Please take the opportunity today to learn of the possibilities and share opportunities.

Before closing, we want to thank all of our generous sponsors, ad and ticket purchasers – the guests of sponsors and friends. It is the conversations we begin here and carry on throughout the year that move Contra Costa forward.

As intended, there will be no speeches at this year’s event, so that you may maximize your networking time. Please enjoy the delicious pre-boxed lunches prepared by Englund’s Catering here or when you leave.

Thank you for your support of the Contra Costa Building Trades Council!!

In Solidarity,

Bill Whitney, CEO Kevin Van Buskirk, President CCBCTC CCBCTC
