TAUC events are a means of advancing the union construction industry's collective interests in safety and health, labor relations, education, innovation and technology, and work opportunities.

If you've never attended a TAUC Leadership Conference, you can expect a full roster of high-quality speakers as well as numerous networking opportunities -- gourmet meals, a gala reception and dance, to name just a few. The conference also hosts the James J. Willis Craftsperson of the Year Award, Thomas J. Reynolds Safety Awards, and the new Joseph R. LaRocca Project of the Year Award presentations, three of the industry's most prestigious award programs.
