As part of the conference, Partners in Progress has launched the Strive to Succeed Challenge. Each local area can earn up to $3,000 for use towards future marketing. This initiative is designed to assist SMART Locals and SMACNA chapters and contractors with building a collaborative labor-management relationship. Each Local and chapter completes simple sets of predetermined tasks in phases before, during, and after the conference. Partners in Progress will maintain a leaderboard that shows how each area is progressing. Participating areas will be featured and participants will be recognized at the Conference, in Partners in Progress, and on social media for their contributions. Find out more by clicking the Challenge link in the left menu.

Part of the Challenge involves assisting with the onsite conference charity project, Project 150. Project 150 is a 501(c)3 non-profit charitable organization that was created when the founders learned of 150 homeless high school students at Rancho High School in Las Vegas. The students were in need of support over the Christmas break. The charity now serves more than 6,000 high school students in need, including 3,300 registered homeless and 3,100 non-registered homeless, displaced, and disadvantaged high school students at 58 high schools in Southern Nevada, and 20 high schools in Reno, Nevada.
