Leverage Government Affairs

Construction is one of the most heavily regulated industries in the country. We want to support good legislation coming from our statehouse, while making sure the association is well-positioned to educate legislators and regulators about our industry.

The tenets we follow are to:

• Navigate the changing political landscape

• Increase collaborations to advance industry

• Engage regulatory bodies and agencies

• Champion state and local procurement/funding opportunities rioritize advocacy related to workforce osition organization for greatest political impact

1 AGC Georgia gets things done because we have great relationships with elected officials. We enjoyed spending time with Department of Labor Commissioner Bruce Thompson as we prepared a feature on him in our magazine.

2 . Members filled our training center for a reception that raised $250,000 to help re-elect Governor Brian Kemp. Our support for the governor and his pro-business policies started early in his Senate career and grew stronger during his term as secretary of state. When we shared concerns for the construction industry during the start of the pandemic, he signed a series of Executive Orders that designated construction as an essential industry. Those EOs kept our companies working and provided financial stability for hundreds of thousands of families.

3 . AGC Georgia does it again! Participation by our members has earned our chapter over two decades of recognition from the AGC of America federal PAC

4 . AGC Georgia encourages members to get to know legislators and engage in the legislative process. Mike Macon from Balfour Beatty and Mahsa Poorak from Southern Electric Company, LLC visit with Representative Emory Dunahoo.

5 . Alan Travis with the Board of Regents shares details about the University System’s upcoming projects favoring renovation over new construction during a recent AGC Georgia board meeting. At this meeting, leaders from the Board of Regents and the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission shared their plans and learned more about AGC Georgia priorities.
