So what is the St. Louis Council of Construction Consumers (SLC3)?
The SLC3 is an all-inclusive Construction Industry Association serving the St. Louis Bi-State Region. AKA we are a construction industry trade association serving the region. Our membership is made of consumers of design and construction “owners” and organizations providing either a service or product to the natural and built environment (associates). We are the largest Local User’s Council led by our owner members and supported by associate members. Our Key Pillars set the stage for how we impact the region and industry:
- Innovation: Bringing innovative technology and strategies for improving project delivery and safety to better the design and construction industry.
- Education: Continuing training and education is the center of the organization as we build stronger leaders, improve knowledge, and demonstrate our unique ability to foster a comprehensive resource for all industry stakeholders. We fulfill continuing education for engineers, architects and safety professionals.
- Equity Empowerment: As our focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion deepens, we strive for the empowerment of all our industry. Equity is the ultimate goal as inclusion and diversity must be present if equity is present.
- Collaboration: When we collaborate with an all-inclusive workforce we build a better industry and a better region. Through our community we will make a significant impact for years to come. “All members have a seat at our table.”
Our Mission
Building a better future by uniting the greater St. Louis region’s design and construction community in achieving innovation, offering advanced education, equity empowerment, and fostering collaboration among all stakeholders.
