Baker, Clerkin, Cotten, Keller, Sharpe,
Richard Baker of the Southwest Conference,
Chris Walter of the Southwest Conference

This group of eight formed an ad hoc task
force. Their job was to draft an immigration policy position on behalf of AWCI. In
2002, they released the policy draft. In short,
AWCI's new policy called for legislation that
would allow immigrants to apply to remain
in the United States, while also acknowledging the importance of and the need for
national security. "Without the availability
of immigrant workers, construction of all
types in this country would be delayed and/
or not done [at all]," the policy draft said.
In July 2007, the Foundation Research
Series published "Immigration and
Construction." The paper cited figures on
the number of undocumented immigrants
working in the United States and gave suggestions to contractors wanting to employ
immigrant workers.

author the 44-page report, called "Mold:
Cause, Effect and Response" a best seller
and said that 10,000 copies (through print
and downloads) were in circulation. "We
commend FWCI for taking this important
step of providing clear, factual information
about this critical issue," said Chelsea Group's
chairman and CEO.
"Mold: Cause, Effect and Response" was
followed in 2003 by two more papers on
mold: "Preventing Losses from Moisture
and Mold During Construction" and "Mold
Litigation Prevention and Defense."
The July 2004 paper, "Using Labor Brokers:
The Legal Issues," addressed the ramifications
of using brokered workers. "Labor Brokers"
explained the legal relationships contractors
have with their workers. In August 2005,
"Job Descriptions" reviewed the specific responsibilities associated with the industry's
jobs. A year later, the Foundation helped
members to plan ahead with the paper,
"Preparing for Tomorrow."
