The Beam Club is a prestigious club, which recognizes those members who have displayed effective support, and the ability to recruit quality members into the association. Industry peers make up our association’s most credible sales force.
Established in 1966, the Beam Club recognizes ABC’s most committed members. Beam Club members have made Associated Builders and Contractors the world’s largest association of merit shop contractors. Their pride in ABC inspires and strengthens our organization.

To join the Beam Club, you need to recruit five new ABC members for your chapter. When you’ve recruited those members, your chapter automatically enrolls you in the Beam Club. The more companies you recruit, the more recognition you receive for being and ABC Beam Club member.
Every year, ABC chapters nominate outstanding Beam Club members. From those nominations, one Beam Club member from each region is recognized for his or her superior Beam Club activity. Those seven regional Beam Club members then compete for the award of National Beam Club Member of the Year. Both the regional and national awards are presented during ABC’s national convention.
Beam Club members also receive national recognition when they recruit 50 new members, reaching the Beam Club Hall of Fame. In addition to having their name placed on the Hall of Fame plaque, which is prominently displayed at ABC’s national office, they are also profiled in ABC’s weekly electronic newsletter, Newsline.
The Beam Club levels of recognition are as follows:
Beam Club Level (5-9 member sponsorship)
Lapel Pin (5), Plaque and Golf Shirt
Merit Bronze Level (10-14 member sponsorship)
