The committee focuses on legislative affairs, political action, and grassroots initiatives to uphold the values of the Merit Shop and ensure a level playing field for all contractors. Through his leadership roles and committee involvement, Nathan plays a key role in advancing ABC Utah’s mission to protect, enhance, and promote the free enterprise system within the construction industry. His dedication to these principles not only benefits ABC members but also contributes to the broader industry by promoting an environment where merit-based practices can thrive.”
