Contractors know that their employees are a key to their success. That is why we invest in comprehensive apprenticeship training programs, highly compensate our skilled workforce, and provide quality health care and retirement benefits. To ensure our ability to maintain these high standard and further our employees, workforce equity and inclusion reform should solidify these high standards while including all.
Government and private businesses need to simplify the procurement processes. Many of the problems facing our contractors come at no cost to the government and owners and provide wins in an all too often polarized world. MMCA gives you a seat at the table to influence contracting reform.
