About Us

Chartered November 17, 2020

Our Montana Story

Our Montana chapter was chartered November 17, 2020 with 25 chartered members.  Our chapter’s goal is to tie in meetings around the state with a tour of a job site or with a company. Because our chapter covers the entire state, we work hard to host our chapter meetings in different towns each month or virtually to include as many members as possible, for example we went and toured the IND Hemp facility in Fort Benton, the Boeing facility in Helena, Schellinger Construction's gravel pit in Columbia Falls and we got to hone our welding skills at ADF in Great Falls just to name a few. The members of our chapter work in all areas of construction from sales to HR, estimating to project management, and much, much more. The Montana chapter has grown to over 48 members from across the state. The majority of our members are based out of Great Falls, with others from Bozeman, Helena, Missoula, Billings, and Kalispell.  Our Montana chapter is growing, and we were excited to host our first Pacific Northwest Fall conference in Missoula in October 2023.
