Our Story

FCA was officially created on Jan. 10, 1997 at Chicago’s O’Hare Hilton.

The fledgling group of contractors (pictured here) approved articles of incorporation and elected the first FCA board of directors and officers. During the group’s first official board meeting, Bob Swanson was elected as the first President of the Board.

During the spring of 1997, FCA’s international office was established in Washington, D.C., and its first executive director was hired.
