Pete Korte, Korte & Luitjohan Contractors, Inc.

I joined the SIBA through an employer in the early 1980s, and I have continued membership through several subsequent employers, and currently am involved on the Safety Committee although I am retired. Over the years I have seen the SIBA continuously strive to update, improve, and add services and programs to better serve the membership. In addition to safety and health services; I have seen notices and bulletins offering value programs for the construction industry in many areas such as human resources, labor, estimating, law, etc. Social gatherings hosted by SIBA also present a chance to network with other construction professionals providing a means to keep current on construction practice evolution.

Congratulations on 75 Years in Business SIBA!

Waggoner Equipment Rental, L.L.C.

The name Southern Illinois Builders Association suggests both tradition and innovation. SIBA has a distinguished legacy of service to construction employers since 1945. These time-honored programs have ensured that the members of the Association continue to see significant value in affiliation. At the same time, SIBA has embraced innovation to keep its membership on the cutting edge of technology. Through this dual approach the competitiveness of its member companies is always assured. I was proud to have enjoyed a small role in the progress and evolution of this fine organization of contractor members and look forward to the Association's continued leadership role.

Tim Garvey, Previous CEO of SIBA

Like any business during this pandemic, we have had to limit our spending to only on products, services, and memberships that we know will guarantee a return.  Our membership to Southern Illinois Builders Association, under Donna Richter’s leadership, is one such guarantee.  As members of SIBA, we have taken full advantage of important safety training and career development programs, as well as Lunch and Learns, that are offered to members at a very reasonable cost or no cost at all.  We have also had the privilege of sitting on the SIBA safety committee. This monthly committee meeting provides a forum to learn from presenters and other members, as well as exchange ideas.  SIBA also provides many networking events throughout the year. We are able to meet with many fellow contractors and unions representatives in a comfortable, casual setting.  These relationships are vital for a successful business; without SIBA we would not have this exposure.  SIBA is an instrumental leader of SIOSH/ SafetyCon, which is a yearly safety conference that provides valuable safety workshops for hundreds of participants in the region.  Last but not least, SIBA is a valuable resource for information.  This year, SIBA has been at the forefront of communicating the latest updates of state and federal laws regarding sexual harassment training and COVID-19 expectations and polices.  We have based our sexual harassment training and COVID-19 protocol on information that SIBA provided to us.

As labor attorneys, the value of SIBA membership has always been obvious to us -- we have been members long before we were given the honor of being selected to provide legal representation and counsel to SIBA and its members. SIBA provides a forum for its members to discuss industry issues and practical problems with their peers, expert assistance in safety, labor relations and the laws affecting contractors and its plan room is second to none!

Our company believes community involvement is very important.

SIBA is an invaluable resource for our company and the construction industry at large. It's a collection of knowledge, connections, legislation updates and lobbying that affect contractors, and so much more! Whether it be labor information or advocating for the younger generation in this field, they have been The Voice of the Construction Industry - always there to lead us through contract negotiation with trade unions. Moreover, not only do we get educational opportunities and safety training but also job site visits from them! It's truly amazing what-all one can find here. SIBA is a great place for connecting with fellow members of the construction industry and has indeed managed countless successful stories throughout history and will continue doing great work into the future.

We have found the SIBA is a great resource for bidding, training and networking. The regular updates related to bids and awards as well as the online plan room keep us up to date on bids and provide us the resources we need to be more prepared for them. The safety and industry training is well organized and executed. The legislative and labor updates do an outstanding job of keeping us up to date with changes to the industry. The community and industry outreach have been and will continue to be a value to the area. They are a very well run organization where the staff go above and beyond in every aspect. We are very fortunate to be members of such a quality organization.
