Contractors:
The Pile Driving Contractors Association of the Gulf Coast, Inc. is an association of contractor companies actively engaged in the business of driving piles and, membership is vested in the individual companies. The member companies designate a primary representative of their respective companies to participate in the association, and annual dues are for the company membership. This representative is designated at the time of application or renewal of membership. Additional company representatives will be accepted on an individual basis, upon payment of additional, reduced dues, designed to cover additional expenses to the association to provide mailings and other communications directly to the additional members. Payment of these additional dues entitles the member company to an additional contact listing in the membership roster and, separate communications from chapter headquarters directed to the additional members. The additional members are allowed to participate in the activities of the chapter to the same extent as the designated primary representative in all aspects except voting. As regards voting on the business of the association, each member company shall have only one vote, providing equal representation to all member companies.
