APCA Plans for Busy 2021
To combat these efforts, APCA meets
regularly with relevant Capitol Hill offices
and regulatory agencies, participates in an
increasing number of industry coalitions,
and rallies its members in grassroots
advocacy campaigns.
APCA's Safety Committee usually meets
quarterly in Houston, but after Q1 2020,
switched to virtual meetings to continue
its work. Led by committee chair Miles
Hester, of Progressive Pipeline, the group
has been working with OSHA to update
APCA's Best Practices library. Members

also discuss job-site safety issues, get
an OSHA update each quarter from Jim
Shelton, compliance assistance specialist
in the Houston North OSHA Area Office,
and hear from guest speakers on topics
such as the Construction Safety Research
Alliance, active shooter preparedness,
how psychology and brain science impact
safety, and fleet safety and DOT issues.
After its 2020 convention in the
Bahamas was canceled, the APCA Board
decided to reschedule it for October
at the Trump International Hotel, in
Washington, D.C., but was again thwarted
as the city nixed all large meetings. There
is, however, some good news for members
who were looking forward to visiting the
fabulous Baha Mar in the Bahamas and to
exploring our nation's capital: APCA will
hold its 2023 Convention at Baha Mar and
its 2021 Mid-Year Meeting at the Trump
International, Oct. 6-9.
With both of its 2020 meetings
canceled, the APCA Board met in Houston
last October to attend to pressing
business and launch the association's new
Strategic Planning Committee. Ever since,

the committee has been working on three
initiatives: Political Action, APCA Brand,
and Model Contract.
The Political Action group aims to define
a long-term political impact vision for
APCA and pursue it using a new social
media presence, a stronger Government
Affairs Committee and exponentially
increased grassroots participation. The
APCA Brand group aims to establish
a powerful APCA brand, increase the
association's visibility, and increase value
for members and the industry. The Model
Contract group is striving for a contract
with fair and balanced risk allocation to
help owners/operators achieve lower-cost
capital construction and maintenance.
As APCA members are eager to visit
with friends and colleagues, and get back
to working face-to-face to address serious
industry issues, APCA is holding its
2021 Convention, March 26-31 at
the Naples Grande Beach Resort in
Naples, Fla., in addition to the Oct. 6-9
Mid-Year Meeting in D.C.
