A Note from the Executive Director

Welcome to the Builders Exchange of East Central Ohio, a regional trade association for the commercial building industry, serving Summit, Stark, Tuscarawas, Portage, Wayne, Carroll, Holmes, and Columbiana counties in Ohio.

The BX, as we like to call it, is comprised of construction managers, general contractors, subcontractors by various trades, suppliers and distributors, specialty trades and service providers, and construction-related professionals.

We are looking forward to another active year here at the BX. Some of the highlights include: starting our partnership with Stark State College for a series of blueprint reading courses, beginning with Civil / Site work; our education series seminars here at the BX office; and our popular networking events, along with a few of the benefits your membership provides:

Workers Compensation Group Rating Program (BX members saved thousands of dollars in 2025.)
Free Speedway Fuel Program discount of 5 cents per gallon, adding up to hundreds of dollars in savings per year for BX members
Daily email of all project listings and current low bidders list
An updated, interactive website full of BX-related information and links and featuring searchable member-company listings by name and trade in our online BX membership directory on www.mybx.org

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or suggestions at jross@mybx.org; we always like to hear from our members. Thank you, as always, for your support of our organization.

Sincerely,

John Ross,

Executive Director
