Something happened at the beginning of November in Washington that few would have expected after Joe Biden was inaugurated: President Trump’s infrastructure bill got enacted.

Two events that took place during the AGC Annual Convention in September offered a reminder of the power and potential of our two charitable organizations: AGC Charities Inc. and the AGC Education & Research Foundation.

The inaugural National Construction Industry Workforce Summit will offer a unique opportunity to learn about successful workforce development efforts, network with contractors, association leaders and educators who are involved in workforce development and help develop new nationwide solutions to chronic construction labor shortages.’
