We say it every year—but this one really matters.
Join us on May 14th at Tunxis Country Club for the UCAC Annual Meeting—a chance to step away from the day-to-day and reconnect with the people who make this industry what it is.
If you’re already part of UCAC, you know how valuable this network is.
If you’re not—this is the perfect time to see what we’re all about.
We’ll spend some time sharing what’s happening with UCAC and the National Utility Contractors Association, and then hear from two great speakers Zach Taylor and Zack Perconti.
After that?
We relax a bit. BBQ, drinks, music, and good conversation under the pavilion.
Because at the end of the day, UCAC is about relationships—and this is where they happen.
Membership Special: Any firm committing to a new membership at the Annual Meeting will pay just 50% of dues. (New members only or expired members from prior to 2025).

UCAC Heat Challenge - Live Hot Wings Showdown
From mild to “what was I thinking,” these four will battle it out wing by wing to see who can take the heat — and who taps out first. The winner will receive a special hot wings trophy.
