AGC Georgia excels in collaborating with educators throughout the state and our leaders at Georgia Department of Education. Our team benefits from having industry partners to help guide the development of Career, Technical and Agricultural Education curriculum, and we look to AGC Georgia as a trusted resource in the execution of construction workforce development initiatives. Together, we are seeing measurable gains by working together to grow interest in construction career pathways throughout Georgia’s schools.

A core reason for our company’s membership with AGC Georgia is the legislative clout the association’s team has with our state’s elected leaders and regulatory officials. Time and time again, when issues arise impacting Georgia’s construction industry or the overall business community, AGC Georgia’s ability to connect directly with decision makers is second to none. I particularly enjoy receiving their first-hand briefings during each legislative session and being a part of the committee that helps develop the association’s legislative agenda.

My AGC Georgia journey began as a construction management student at Georgia Southern University, where I was actively involved in the AGC Student Chapter. There, I met influential construction leaders who came to speak to us, including Charlie Garbutt who was a huge supporter of our program. I joined Garbutt’s team as a young project manager and took part in AGC Georgia’s Young Leadership Program, learning directly from industry peers. As my role expanded, I joined AGC Georgia’s Executive Alliance and now serve on the Board of Director’s Executive Committee, where I’m in line to serve as Board president. I owe so much to the network within AGC Georgia for giving me a rewarding place to grow, give back and learn.
