The 2021-2022 term of the Board of Directors began this past June during our sold-out Annual Convention in Ponte Vedra. For me, this was a symbolic moment. Not only was it nice to have so many members gathered who thoroughly enjoyed reconnecting, but it was also a moment in time that we could hit the reset button and simply focus on the future.

When my term as president began in June 2020, I couldn’t connect with fellow members and other stakeholders in-person, and this was one of the aspects of serving that I was looking forward to the most. I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve a second term under more traditional times.

Many of you have heard me talk about my passion for inspiring our next generation who will lead our industry far into the future. I’m eager to begin meeting with the hundreds of high school students who will attend our seven-part AGC Skills Challenge series this fall. I feel that it is very important for those of us who are enjoying rewarding careers to share our career paths and encourage young people to consider careers in construction. I’d love your help in following up with students in construction programs near you to give them first-hand opportunities to learn more about our industry.

While focusing on adult learners in addition to high school students, I enjoy spreading the great news about construction and its endless boundaries to all of the graduating classes of Construction Ready (CR). This is a four-week credentialing program that is presented by our workforce development partner, CEFGA. I’ve had the pleasure of speaking to many CR-graduating classes and love following the success stories of these men and women who are seeking a fulfilling career. If you haven’t gotten engaged with CEFGA through its CR programs to find new field talent – you are missing out. Along with several established metro programs (one at the AGC Georgia Training Center), they are now building talent in various locations around Georgia.

As we all look for new ways to connect within the industry, I’m pleased to share that we hosted a networking event in mid-September at a Braves game in

conjunction with the Greater Atlanta chapter of the National Association of Minority Contractors (NAMC). Over 100 AGC Georgia members, including my fellow Board members, joined with NAMC members in a relaxing environment to foster new business relationships. It’s my pleasure to be part of creating a stronger working relationship between the two organizations that will afford NAMC members access to AGC Georgia educational opportunities.

Now that we have completed our two-phased renovation of the AGC Georgia headquarters, we are excited to get back to our robust in-person training. With a refreshed and inviting learning environment, we hope you’ll check-out our line-up of educational and professional develop offerings. We also are putting the finishing touches on the technology required for our new hybrid learning room. In the very near future, we will begin offering curriculum that can be effectively taught to both remote and in-person attendees at the same time – all led by an in-person instructor.

Please check out our News and Notes section on pages 8-9, and make sure you mark your calendar for some great events that are just around the corner. If our AGC Georgia team or I can be of assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Stay well,
