?? #ThrowbackThursday We recently discovered some incredible photos from events dating all the way back to the 1950s—long before we became the Arizona Builders Alliance (ABA)! These nostalgic images show Conventions, mixers, Golf Tournaments and celebrations that helped shape who we are today. It's fascinating to see how much has changed over the years—but what's clear is that one thing hasn’t changed: the strong connections and relationships built at these events. The faces, styles, and venues may have evolved, but the spirit of camaraderie remains the same. We're proud of our history and excited to keep building on this legacy! #ABA #TBT #ConstructionIndustry #Nostalgia #IndustryEvents #RelationshipsMatter
