 Convention 2008: Fore the Love of Golf
And networking, learning, idea-swapping, relaxing
We look forward to welcoming the hundreds of members registered for the Carolinas AGC 87th Annual Convention Jan. 16 - Jan. 20, 2008 at the Fairmont Turnberry Isle Resort & Club in Aventura , FL. The luxurious accommodations and world-class golf are enticing enough, let alone the numerous contacts to be made and business knowledge to be exchanged.
Why Should YOU Attend This Convention?
Division Meetings
You'll get more out of these semi-annual division breakout sessions than any other meeting all year long. Division meetings offer round-table environments for all members interested in Building, Highway-Heavy, and Utility construction issues.
Pinnacle Awards Celebration & Finale Evening Entertainment
Year after year, the Pinnacle Award gala is the most celebrated event of convention. Whether your firm is an award recipient or not, the celebration is guaranteed to be a first-class, memorable event. The Pinnacle Awards celebration is made possible by our sponsors Greer & Walker, CPAs, and the law firm of Johnston Allison & Hord; the after-dinner entertainment is sponsored by Willis.
Keynote & Business Forum Speaker
 This year's keynote and Business Forum speaker, Steve Gilliland, CSP, is one of the most in-demand and top-rated speakers in the United States and Canada . His keynote presentation , Enjoy The Ride, is simple, clear, and easy to grasp-- yet profound. Loaded with hope, direction, encouragement, and specific procedures, this powerful speech drives the message that true success is not a thing you acquire or achieve; rather, it's a journey you take your whole life long. Gilliland's Business Forum presentation , If Leadership is a Game, These are the Rules implements the principle that if you take care of people, the business will follow. He has helped people grow their businesses and expand their lives by teaching them to rethink their work, their relationships and themselves. Gilliland passes along the idea that if you are purpose-driven rather than process-driven, you will make a difference.

World Class Golf
 More than $30 million has been spent on redesigning the 18-hole golf courses at the award-winning Fairmont Turnberry. Golf legend Raymond Floyd has constructed the courses to his traditional and exacting standards. The Carolinas AGC 2008 Convention golf tournament will be played on the North Coursewhich has just made its June 2007 debut. The North Course is as equally beautiful as it is challenging: each hole is envisioned as both a work of art and a fair test for all skills.
