Mentor ABCs LSU Student Chapter
Volunteer to help prepare our CM student competitors for the annual ABC National Construction Management Competition:
1) Develop a training program with LSU faculty 2) Mentor CM student competitors |

In wanting to give back to both the industry and community, the 2016 committee decided to adopt the Louisiana State University ABC student chapter and will serve as mentors in helping the students prepare for a national construction management competition.
Worthington said working with the LSU/ABC competition students was an easy decision to make.
“The YP group will be able to assist students in providing their real world industry experience and apply their leadership skills,” Worthington stated. “Students will be gaining valuable project experience and opportunities to network and learn more about what ABC does for the industry.”
The national competition is held in part with the ABC National Leadership Week in November.
The YP committee volunteers will begin meeting with the group of students at the start of the fall semester. Byers is looking forward to giving back to the LSU construction management department because “so many of the Young Professionals in our group are LSU-CM graduates and are benefitting from the instruction given during their time at the university.” He hopes the group can enhance the students’ practical application of the concepts they are learning.
In all, the group is excited to breathe new life into the student competition team and carry on its mission to develop young leaders in the construction industry.
Recruit Contractors
Help the YP Committee reach its annual goal of five (5) new ABC contractor members each year. Each of us have a unique network of peers, tell them about ABC and what it does for the industry by which we derive our livelihoods.
