The CGA provides
today’s optimal forum where stakeholders can share information and
perspectives and work together on all aspects of damage prevention
issues. This allows the achievement of results that would otherwise be
impossible. The CGA and our dedicated volunteers are
working with industry stakeholders and regulators to produce stronger,
more effective results through partnership, collaboration, and the
pursuit of common goals in damage prevention.
Supporting CGA & Damage
Prevention Through Membership
Since establishing the CGA in 2001, the
CGA has worked to bring together stakeholders to enhance the damage
prevention process and reduce damages to underground utilities.
CGA’s recently published “DIRT Report for 2008”
indicated that the estimated total number of underground utility damages
occurring in the U.S. has decreased by almost 250,000 during the past
four years. CGA’s members should be congratulated –
this significant reduction can be attributed in great part to the
collective work of our membership.
By collaborating across
industries on best practices, 811, DIRT and other key initiatives,
CGA’s members have proven that building consensus brings
results. As we look to the future, supporting the CGA through membership and participation remains
one of the most important things your company can do to prevent future
damages.
To effectively fulfill our vision of shared responsibility in years
to come, the CGA will continue to seek input and participation from the
broadest possible representation of damage prevention
stakeholders. Our greatest strength comes from the commitment and
collaboration of the 16 different stakeholder groups represented within
the CGA. Each volunteer's unique talents and knowledge bring
synergy to the CGA.
