Central Illinois Builders is a building contractors association that was founded in 1955. Its initial purpose was to represent management in construction labor relations matters, which is still a primary focus. Central Illinois Builders (CIB) became a local chapter of Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) in 1956. That charter authorized CIB to represent contractors in a 46-county area of central Illinois. Established in 1918, AGC is a full service construction association with chapters nationwide. The policies and direction of CIB are determined by a twenty-one member Board of Directors. CIB has four committees: Labor Policy; Member Services; Annual Meeting; and Play Day. Committee recommendations are acted upon by the Board and are the basis for much of the Association’s policy and direction. Chapter staff administer the policy and direction as determined by the Board and its Executive Committee. Membership in CIB is available to any firm whose livelihood is wholly or in part derived from the construction industry. Three membership classifications (Regular, Specialty and Associate) are available.

As the new school year kicks off, a growing number of U.S. school districts are taking proactive steps to safeguard our students. This year, more than 20 states are adopting BusGates' LED-lit stop arm extensions on their buses to tackle a pressing issue: the alarming rate of motorists illegally passing stopped school buses. A recent study by NASDPTS highlights a staggering projection—over 45 million illegal passes of stopped buses annually. To combat this, we have introduced a game-changing solution: stop arm extensions that extend over 5 feet into traffic and feature bright LED lights. This physical barrier significantly helps to reduce the risk of accidents by making buses more visible and deterring drivers from violating safety laws. Discover more about how these extensions are making a difference and how your district can benefit from this innovative safety measure. #SchoolSafety #BusSafety #Innovation #Transportation #Education #SafetyFirst #BusGates https://lnkd.in/eMweJnbh

Yesterday was 8/11 Day, but did you know that one of the top reasons professionals cite for not contacting 811 before every digging project is that they think they already know where buried utilities are located? Even if your crew has worked a jobsite before, weather, erosion and construction can affect the perceived location of facilities – always contact #811beforeyoudig, #everydigeverytime.
