CAM Celebrates 125th Anniversary

In 2010, the Construction Association of Michigan (CAM) is celebrating the 125th Anniversary of its founding in 1885. Formed by twenty-one prominent leaders of the Detroit construction industry as the Builders and Traders Exchange, CAM has grown and evolved over the past 125 years to become the Construction Association of Michigan. Today, CAM is 3,200+ members strong and prides itself on being the most resourceful association for those in Michigan's commercial construction industry.

CAM received an official commendation from the office of Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm and Lt. Governor John Cherry in recognition of its 125th Milestone Anniversary. To view the commendation, click here.

CAM is the oldest and largest regional construction association in the United States, governed by a 12-member Board of Directors elected by its membership. CAM provides leadership on key issues such as regulatory reform; economic development; workers’ compensation and unemployment compensation; continuing education; labor relations service; complete safety training programs and consultation; ongoing legislative relations; and public awareness efforts. CAM acquired the Tri-City Builders Exchange (TCBX) of Bay City, Saginaw and Midland in January 2008, opening a second location for its members.
