Peer Group
Successfully launched nationally in 2022, Steel Connections is designed to be a small local peer group comprised of about 20 or so industry people just like you. There is no selling whatsoever; just good old-fashioned conversations about topics capable of moving you and your business forward. Everything is private; nobody takes notes, and nothing is recorded.
At no charge to you, the Steel Connections peer group is designed to bring the industry together for a collaborative conversation about the latest news and market developments as well as create an environment in which we can learn from each other. We know all too well that running a steel business is a difficult undertaking.
SEAA values steel businesses of all shapes, sizes and ages. Erectors, rodbusters, crane operators, fabricators, and general contractors are all invited to participate in this community building group.
