Membership Add-Ons
GMM Á La Carte
HCC has dinner meetings/socials 11 months of the year. Buy the package and your company is assured of a spot at each dinner (based on company, not person). The monthly dinner meetings/socials are a way to network with fellow association members and peers, stay on top of what is happening in the industry and receive topical and important information from expert speakers and panel members. Additional À La Carte options can be purchased for guests (typically $50 each) to each GMM Dinner
GMM Sponsorship
HCC’s dinner meetings/socials are an opportunity to network with small businesses, general contractors, subcontractors and specialty subcontractors, A/E firms, public entities, suppliers and service providers. We bring topics to each GMM that inform our members about ways to stay abreast of industry changes, events and contract opportunities, as well as receive topical and important information from expert speakers and panel members. A GMM sponsorship includes 15-20 minutes of participation during a single dinner to inform HCC members about a project or initiative your company is wanting to promote.
Pay-It-Forward
Pay-It-Forward is a workforce development program for high school seniors and students enrolled at a local community college, college or university who are interested in pursuing careers in the construction industry, including construction trades/apprentice programs, construction management and construction-related professional services. Under this program, HCC members serve as hosts and sponsor a student to attend a monthly GMM dinner. The purpose of the Pay-It-Forward program is to attract, recruit and retain young people for the construction industry. You can purchase the “Pay it Forward” option from 3 to 11 dinner tickets ($50 each) to our GMM Dinners.
Top 8 Reasons Why You Should Become an HCC Member
Full-Time Advocacy that Leads to Growth and Industry Partnerships
HCC is dedicated to our members 100%. Our full-time staff advocates on your behalf by highlighting the right issues and bringing the right people to the table so your time is well-spent and you have the opportunity to effectively engage. HCC membership provides diverse businesses with an effective liaison to public entities, including the City & County of Denver, Denver International Airport, Denver Public Schools, Denver Water, CDOT, and RTD. Our involvement in the development of diversity programs maximizes the ability of members to provide input on issues that impact contracting opportunities, such as goal setting, size standards, graduation, prequalification and payment. HCC membership also provides contractors with access to individual assistance in resolving problems with public owners.
Networking With the Right People and Bid Opportunities to Grow Your Business
Perhaps one of the greatest benefits of HCC membership is the opportunity to network with industry colleagues, many of whom are business owners, and key individuals from major projects. It makes a huge difference talking to the right person. And you can do that in our fun and welcoming atmosphere! We hold two annual golf outings, numerous membership dinners, Breakfasts With GCs, and an Annual Awards Banquet. There are also many committees and task forces to help build relationships.
Regulatory Reform & Legislative Influence
HCC recognizes that political advocacy is essential for any specialized profession today and financial involvement in the election process is an effective means of demonstrating support for lawmakers who are sympathetic to the specialized concerns of the industry. We advocate for clear, fair and reasonable standards and work to encourage regulatory agencies to focus on assistance and compliance rather than inspections and fines.
We:
- Have a strong relationship with a well-respected and effective lobby team that aggressively guides our efforts and represents your interests at the Colorado State House.
- Work with the construction industry’s Building Jobs 4 Colorado (BJ4C) Coalition where we have opposed any changes to the current Colorado Workers’ Compensation program that increase the burden on business, and we’ve tackled new business mandates or fees from the state level without sufficient proof that these actions will benefit the business community.
- Provide diverse businesses with an effective liaison to public entities, including the City & County of Denver, Denver International Airport, Denver Public Schools, Denver Water, CDOT, and RTD. Our involvement in the development of diversity programs maximizes the ability of members to provide input on issues that impact contracting opportunities, such as goal setting, size standards, graduation, prequalification and payment.
Work Together Towards Regulatory Reform
HCC regularly advocates for clear, fair and reasonable standards. We work hard to encourage regulatory agencies to focus on assistance and compliance rather than inspections and fines.
Easier Process To Receive Certifications
Whether you’re a small business that wants to get certified or a large corporation that needs to comply, and you’re involved in public construction, you need to understand the various certified programs – DBE, Denver SBE, RTD SBE, Denver EBE, MWBE, ACDBE, 8(a). HCC will help you navigate through the “certification maze” and make the process easier to finish.

Industry Specific Training & Education
HCC offers a variety of tools to help you further your industry knowledge and business. Whether you’re a small or large business, continued education is instrumental in furthering your business. And whether you want to get certified or just need to comply, you need to understand the various certification programs.
HCC:
- Is involved and knowledgeable with all of the certifying programs and can provide guidance in navigating the certification maze. And then we can help you develop the relationships to meet project goals – it’s less risky to do business with someone you know.
- Has the ‘Contractor Academy’ which provides industry specific workshops that are a great value for small businesses. Our certificate program provides various tracks which cover a wide variety of topics from legal issues to proposals development and project management. Small class sizes encourage discussion among attendees and the facilitators and give you the opportunity to learn more about presenting companies and representatives.
