Meetings and Events

CEUCA members meet throughout the year at various events and meetings.  Highlights of activities include: 

• CRBA, CRMCA and CEUCA Annual Joint Forces Luncheon:  The Connecticut Road Builders Association, the Connecticut Ready Mixed Concrete Association, and Connecticut Environmental & Utility Contractors Association get together every spring for a fundraiser to support a worthy veterans case.  Donations have been made to Purple Heart Homes, CT State Veterans Memorial Project, Fischer House Connecticut, Coast Guard Academy, UConn Entrepreneurial Boot Camp for Veterans, Homes for the Brave and to SEAL RDAC program.  In lieu of the 2020 event, the construction industry steps out for Homes for the Brave.   Many thanks to those who donated or walked for a worthy cause!
