The Rocky Mountain Steel Construction Association was established in 1993 with the express purpose of “Advancing steel construction in the Rocky Mountain region.” The RMSCA strives to deliver educational, promotional, and outreach initiatives to its membership and the broader construction community. Today, the RMSCA serves over 50 member companies; members can be fabricators, erectors, detailers, suppliers, design professionals, and other associated supporting trades (such as equipment companies and specialty processors). The association prides itself on an economical fee structure, superb breakfast and dinner meetings as well as an annual golf outing to fund its mission. The RMSCA collaborates with the national governing body for steel construction, the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC). The annual outreach efforts the association supports include:

• Annual scholarship for a regional steel construction engineering student
• Annual sponsorship for regional professors to attend the AISC annual steel conference
• Ongoing liaison committee meeting monthly with the local engineering professional association (SEAC) to critically address issues of mutual interest/action and the production of white papers for the construction community
• Bridge competition sponsorship for regional university students
• Trade Scholarship, Legislative Advocacy, Community and Industry Partnerships, SEAC & RMSCA Liaison Committee

The association endeavors to bring presentations of interest to the membership to challenge critical thinking, encourage frank discussions, and promote productive change among the steel community. We regularly host events that bring together the general contracting and design professional communities to promote a better construction environment today, as well as for our leaders and members of tomorrow. The atmosphere at RMSCA events tends to be light, and we enjoy some welcome relief from the grind of steel construction with a welcoming social atmosphere. The RMSCA is governed by a Board of Directors, representing member companies, that meets regularly with the support of Executive Directorm Debra Scifo.
