What Are Our Young Leaders Saying?

We had a blast at the Young Leaders Team Building Event yesterday! Thank you for all that you do for us. Each event we attend is so well put together and we were talking about how the AGC is the most active association.

I am a part of the CAGC Young Leaders because it is a great way to meet and network with others in the construction industry. Being able to share ideas, learn from different perspectives, and find solutions to common challenges is invaluable. What makes the CAGC Young Leaders so great is it helps the next generation of leaders excel within the industry through the many different resources and events offered. It also has a pretty great group of people who are involved.

Being a member of the CAGC Young Leaders has taught me the importance of giving back to our community. It also allows you to network with multiple professions within the construction industry, other than your own.

I am excited to be a part of the CAGC Young Leaders simply as a result of what the group stands for. Being active in a group where you can help the industry, build your network of contacts and give back to the community at the same time provides a tremendous amount of value for anyone involved in construction. If you have any interest in building your career in the construction industry, I would urge you to attend a Young Leaders event to see what the group is all about.

I’m involved with the AGC because I firmly believe that while the landscape of business has changed dramatically recently, the language of business hasn’t changed one bit – relationships.  The AGC provides a great platform to not only grow your business through the relationships that can be made, but also refine the quality of your work by learning best practices from peers.
