Master Builders of Iowa

With the influence of the Strategic Plan, MBI has developed an “on-the-road” curriculum covering essential issues, challenges and solutions for MBI members.  MBI will be visiting 7 regions with a program covering the following topics...

NEW PROGRAM - Essential Resource - MBI Risk Management Service.

Bonding companies are reporting growing business failures in Iowa and around the US.  MBI legal counsel and the legal community in general, report construction litigation as a strong growth industry in Iowa. Add the continued trend of underperforming plans and specifications complicated by local politics in the public market sector and you have an unprecedented opportunity for error and under-estimation of risk. These are and can be company killers.

The MBI’s strategic plan ascertained the demand and need to add staff and service designed to assist members to be higher performers in the areas of risk assessment and planning. Accordingly we are rolling out the newest in MBI services at the Regional Meetings. This is an important addition to your association investment and you are encouraged to attend and learn more about what is available to you in bolstering your performance in this critical survival area.

Trends in Public Contracting in Iowa

The trends in public contracting in Iowa are reacting to the current economic environment downturn and the hyper-competition in the market place. The MBI has been collecting data and educating through ongoing seminar emerging trends that relate to the business environment and bottom line issues. The data and trends reported are customized by the MBI and are not generally available through any other reporting source.  A close look at the Macro environment is an essential resource for members competing in the Iowa marketplace. Don’t miss this one.

Election Outlook 2010

You don’t have to be a political junkie to appreciate what is at stake during this November’s elections.  From national mid-term elections to the most local ballot issues, voters will be asked to decide on the future direction of government, which will change Iowa’s political dynamic for years to come.  During the “Election Outlook 2010” segment of the Regional Meeting agenda, MBI’s Director of Public Affairs will provide his insights on Congressional races, statehouse races and local races.
The value for the “guaranteed one hour, complimentary lunch, and open member registration” is proving to be a very effective way to educate members about important industry issues, along with how MBI can be an essential resource for member companies.
