Committees and Advisory Groups
TO: All Members
FROM: Maria Guy, 2008 AGC Board President
I am taking this opportunity to let each member know that I am looking forward
to 2008 and I would like to ask you for your participation in the AGC committees
and technical advisory groups. We continually seek to demonstrate the value
of your membership and we need your involvement to be successful.
The committees and technical advisory groups are the primary means by which
all members work to meet the needs of the industry, and the needs of the
membership as a whole. The committees and technical advisory groups provide
grassroots contact with emerging issues and a forum for discussions of key
construction industry concerns. It is through these discussions that AGC
members exchange information and ideas, and provide the basis for policy
change within the organization. Committees and technical advisory group members
are also provided with a wealth of information on a wide variety of topics,
which they utilize in their businesses and realize value-added, return on
their investment in AGC. Participation in AGC’s committees and technical
advisory groups is not only encouraged, it is vital to the growth
and success of our Association.
A Chair and a Staff Associate, who is a member of the Chapter Staff, serve
each committee and technical advisory group. The Staff Associate assists
the committee in any manner deemed necessary to fulfill its function and
mission. Staff Associates are encouraged to participate fully in committee
deliberations and activities. The Chair is a member in good standing who
is appointed by the President. Committee Chairs serve at the discretion of
the President, and may be reappointed.
Committees and technical advisory groups report on policy or procedural
matters within the scope of their responsibility either to the Board of Directors,
or to the AGC Officers.
The work product of each AGC committee and technical advisory group varies
with its stated function and mission. Services provided range from a discussion
forum for members to networking with each other, to the development of product–line
items designed to meet specific needs of the membership. In every case, AGC’s
committees and technical advisory groups consistently deliver value and quality
to our members, and to the industry.
