The AMBA Board members continue to pursue erectors working in Alberta to join AMBA. AMBA is founded by Metal Building Erectors and will always be at the core of our Metal Building Association. However, it has been challenging to get erector companies to join AMBA. Perhaps it is because erectors may not find value in the association, aren’t aware of all the AMBA programs available to them, and don’t have the time to participate in meetings. The AMBA membership easily pays for itself: bursaries, awards, marketing, access to industry participants and networking! Please reach out to your erector companies and educate them on the benefits of joining AMBA… together we can make a difference.
