In 2005, Immediate Past President Brandon Young (Miller the Driller) initiated a series of discussions with Iowa One Call in an effort to make the system more friendly to contractors. Shown at that first meeting are Tom Anderson (MidAmerican Energy), Brandon Young (Miller the Driller), and Stan DeRoo (Cherokee Rural Water Association).

Federal legislation is an important area for Iowa contractors. NUCA has two Washington lobbyists whose sole job is to look out for the interests of utility contractors. Closer to home, we meet whenever we can with our national legislators. Here, we are meeting with Rep. Boswell’s liaison, Dave Campbell.
