What is AIC
The American Institute of Constructors, the AIC, is a national professional organization promoting individual professionalism and excellence throughout the related field of construction. The AIC was formed in 1970, and since then, has grown to 15 Nation-Wide Chapters. In 1994, the AIC branched out, and the Wisconsin Chapter was formed. We are headquartered in Milwaukee, and through monthly events September through June, offer many opportunities and activities to promote the construction industry.
What does the Wisconsin Chapter offer?
| A Qualifying Body | We offer a qualifying body to serve the individual constructor, who has achieved a recognized level of professional competence |
| Opportunities | We offer opportunities for the individual constructor to participate in the process of developing quality standards of practice, and to exchange ideas through networking. |
| Leadership | We offer leadership in achieving and maintaining high ethical standards |
| Encouragement | We offer encouragement of equitable and professional relationships between constructors and all other entities in the construction process. |
| Environment | We thrive in an environment that is designed to enhance the overall standing of the construction profession through educational programs and networking. |
