History

Established in 2007, NAMC-Oregon is the local affiliate of the National Association of Minority Contractors (NAMC). The NAMC is a nonprofit trade association founded in 1969 to address the needs and concerns of minority contractors. Though membership is open to people of all races and ethnic backgrounds, the organization’s mandate, "Building Bridges—Crossing Barriers," focuses on construction industry issues common to African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Native Americans.
