Getting your crew to the job site shouldn’t be the hardest part of the workday.

From transportation gaps to limited parking and long walks with tools, getting to work can be a challenge. C3 is sharing an opportunity for contractors to explore how METRO vanpooling could help.

Join D. Samuels & Associates, LLC for a Vanpool Open House to see the vehicles, ask questions, and learn what vanpooling could look like for your crew.

📅 Wednesday, October 7, 2026
🕙 10 a.m.–2 p.m.
📍 Palm Center, 5330 Griggs Rd., Houston, TX 77021
🍽️ Lunch and refreshments provided

Vanpool benefits include a vehicle, maintenance, a fuel card, insurance, roadside assistance, and an emergency ride home.

Share this with the person who coordinates your crew’s transportation, and come explore a solution that could help keep your people and projects moving.

🎅🎁 Houston construction, are you up for a Secret Santa?

We’re thinking about trying something a little different this holiday season!

C3 is exploring an Industry-Wide Secret Santa Networking Dinner where you’ll be matched with someone outside your company and usual professional circle and then come together for dinner, networking, and a gift exchange.

The goal? Meet someone new. Make a connection you might not have made otherwise. And have a little holiday fun while we’re at it.

Bring your coworkers. Just don’t expect to sit with them. 😉

We’re looking at the week of December 7, but we need to know there’s enough interest before we make it official.

This isn't registration and you're not committing to anything yet. We just want to know: Would you join us?

🎁 Tell us here:

Take the C3 Industry Secret Santa Interest Survey at https://c3.jotform.com/form/c3-industry-secret-santa

And tag the construction friends you’d convince to participate! 🎄

⛳ Nine Industry Sponsors and counting!

We’re grateful to the nine companies that have already stepped up as Industry Sponsors for C3’s 16th Annual Golf Classic on October 19 at BlackHorse Golf Club.

Their support is about more than a day on the golf course. Every sponsorship helps C3 continue our work to strengthen a safe, skilled, and sustainable craft workforce through training, safety education, leadership development, career opportunities, and industry partnerships.

Thank you to each of our Industry Sponsors for investing in the people who build our industry. We’re proud to have you on the course with us! 👏

And we’re not finished yet. There’s still time for your company to join them. Golf registrations and sponsorship opportunities are still available.

⛳ Play. Sponsor. Support the workforce.
