To be the trusted voice, the recognized standard, and the professional home for everyone who shapes America’s land
LICA advances the businesses that shape America’s land—the contractors, suppliers, and operators who build, construct, drain, excavate, and restore—through advocacy, education, and a lasting commitment to stewardship.
Land Improvement Contractors of America is guided by a commitment to these values:
01
WORKMANSHIPSkill, integrity, safety, and ethics in every job—from the first pass to the final grade. LICA members set the standard others are measured against.
02
STEWARDSHIPThe land is a shared responsibility entrusted to us to preserve for future generations. We leave it stronger than we found it.
03
ENTERPRISEHard, skilled work deserves a fair return. We fight for the business climate, the policies, and the recognition our members have earned.
04
NETWORKA national association of contractors, suppliers, haulers, and allied trades who look out for one another and share what works.
05
ADVANCEMENTWe invest in training, technology, and advocacy to keep our industry and our members moving forward.
Many state chapters conduct field days. A field day provides an opportunity for contractors, associates, universities and municipalities to work together to learn about new applications through demonstrations of equipment and cutting-edge products.
The aim of the Association is to encourage high standards of workmanship in resource management and to promote enterprises in land improvement contracting. This association of contractors brings together people who have similar interests in improving and preserving our natural resources, with an adequate profit.
Along with many commodity, safety, and health programs, the organization offers numerous training and networking opportunities for its members. At national and state conventions, seminars are offered in safety programs, management techniques, insurance and many other topics. Our programs and meetings provide opportunities for our members to network and find better, more efficient ways to run their businesses and do their jobs. We offer members support to be efficient entrepreneurs and to run their businesses safely and profitably.
