Providing professional development programs and a variety of resources forms the foundation of FCAI.
We are dedicated to furthering our members educational development and training. We deliver this training in a variety of formats; in-person and virtual and are beginning to use on-demand education in 2024 to provide this needed education to our members. Look for webinars on various new topics to keep our members on the cutting edge of this industry.
Along with training, FCAI members receive Illinois legislative information from our involvement with IMSCA in Springfield representing subcontractors in the construction industry. A digest of only those pieces of legislation which directly affect finishing contractors changes often and is available by contacting us, along with helpful hints on contacting and talking with legislators.
Members regularly receive a seasonal newsletter and a monthly legislative news e-blast. These crisp, colorful and timely publications are designed to keep reader informed of industry trends, coatings and technical advisory information, important news, valuable programs and upcoming events.
Since safety is a vital part of the association’s mission, FCAI provides members links that put you in direct contact with our partners. We hope you will visit these partners to find more information on the latest detailed regulations and recommendations to keep a job site safe. View our safety page to find all the resources available.
Lastly, the networking nature of associations is a the main reason so many professionals join trade groups. That exchange of and constant search for a guide to doing your job better can often be accomplished by comparing notes with professionals in related fields. FCAI provides links to other associations engaged in varying aspects of construction and finishing to provide members with additional sources of information that can help them better manage their businesses.
