Purpose - Orange Empire SMACNA's purpose is to advance the sheet metal and air conditioning industry through:
  • Membership: To conduct, operate and maintain a trade association composed of firms engaged in the fabrication and erection of architectural, industrial, and commercial sheet metal work; heating, ventilating, and air conditioning work.
  • Meetings & Information Exchange: To arrange for and promote meetings of mem­bers of the Association for the interchange of views for their mutual benefit, and to provide members with an effective agency through which to express their collective voice.
  • Collective Bargaining: To act as the bargaining agent for members who have assigned their bargaining rights to the Association, regarding any agreements between Local Union 105 of the Sheet Metal Workers International Association and such members of this Association.
  • Labor Relations: To promote sound labor relations on the basis of labor and management cooperation in the public interest.
  • Industry Connections: To establish harmonious and equitable rela­tions between the members of the Association and Architects, Engineers, Manufacturers, Wholesalers, Suppliers and others con­cerned or involved in the industry. 
  • Education & Events: To conduct or engage in such activities as research and education for the benefit of the members; to secure and disseminate to members specialized information necessary to the efficient operation of the businesses of the members; and to carry on such other lawful activities as may become expedient for the better protection of the industry and membership.
  • Training: To cooperate in the establishment and promo­tion of journeyman and apprenticeship training programs to pro­vide the most highly skilled craftsmen possible.
