CONNECT WITH YOUR CAGC TREASURER, SCOTT FANT
By Scott Fant, Carolinas AGC 2011 Treasurer

We need You, and You need US

Carolinas AGC is your investment in your future. It will open untold doors for your company through legislative advocacy, joint committees, and sub-committees. Along with this overabundance of aide, you have access to IBuild, safety training, pro-employee/union-free programs, great networking opportunities and much more. Our many gatherings will bring you and your company face-to-face with the leaders in your industry.

Carolinas AGC's strength lies in its membership; although the majority of our members are small to medium size companies, our voice is huge. Today we have approximately 2,300 members. Our members are divided into five divisions: Building Contractors, Highway Contractors, Utility Contractors and Specialty Contractors and Suppliers. Each of these divisions is made up of general contractors, subcontractors/specialty contractors and supplier/service companies. In total we have over twenty-five committees and advisory councils - there is one for you.

Carolinas AGC will provide you with superb lobbying efforts in our state legislatures in Columbia and Raleigh to promote the construction industry's interest and monitor the many bills that affect our businesses every day.

Carolinas AGC is the Contractor's Voice in the Carolinas and also in America through AGC of America.

During these times of economic downturn, our companies need all of the advantages we can find, and I will assure you Carolinas AGC offers a wealth of valuable information to help you with any number of problems that you face daily.

As I have said many times, "You only get out of an organization what you are willing to put into it," so let's get involved today. Contact your CAGC staff to become part of the action. We have a place waiting for you.
