Divisions & Committees

CAWV is organized into four divisions: Building, Utility, Highway and Associate. Each division has a chairperson and association leadership rotates to represent each division equally. Division level meetings occur to review the progress and issues being evaluated by committees. Meetings occur at the Annual Meeting held in July and the Midyear Meeting held during the Winter months.

 

Committee work is the lifeblood of the association. What happens during committee meetings helps to shape the construction industry and the association. Although CAWV members are competitors on bid day, they routinely gather to advance the industry and the state by serving on committees. In addition, these meetings are a great way to get to know industry peers. Committee participation allows contractors to share ideas, develop policies and programs, and establish valuable contacts with industry leaders and state and federal agencies.
