Welcome to AGCVA

We’re glad that you’re here. Whether this is your first visit to agcva.org or you’ve visited many times before, we’re happy that you dropped by.

Our association has three pillars to guide the work we do. AGCVA is comprised of members advocating, growing, and connecting Virginia’s construction industry. This is the foundation of everything we are doing as an association with a vision to build a stronger community as the leading partner in Virginia’s construction industry.

Advocate
This is an election year. All 140 Virginia General Assembly seats are up for election in 2023.
 
The Political Action Committee (PAC) has set a goal to raise $200,000 this year to strengthen and grow our relationships with key policy makers. We will be promoting the PAC at all our events this year as well as in our marketing information. As a member of AGCVA, you determine the success of the AGCVA PAC. I urge you to consider making a donation, if you have not already done so. To those who have donated, my deepest thanks for your support.
 
Each of our districts has currently scheduled at least one legislative event during this year and there will be more to follow as the year progresses to include hard hat tours with legislators.
 
AGCVA’s PAC committee and Legislative committees do a tremendous amount of work both while the General Assembly is in session and throughout the year. These groups support our industry and work hard for the good of and on behalf of all of us in the AGCVA community.
 
Grow
We are focusing on programs and services that grow member businesses and advance the industry.

The Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Taskforce continues to develop strategies focused on making inclusion a core value by 2024. Inclusion will allow us the opportunity to provide equal access to connections and resources for those who might be excluded or come from different backgrounds. One of the many ways this will be incorporated in the future will be through our listening sessions with SWAM firms in the industry.
 
As we approach 2024, we have a great deal to celebrate.  In addition to our 100th anniversary as an association, we will celebrate our current Vice Chair, Arlene Lee, taking office as our association’s first female chair.
 
Workforce development is something that we remain focused on. We will continue to promote our efforts at our events along with raising awareness of the Educational Foundation goals to secure sustainable funding that supports the various workforce initiatives. Last year we provided over $40,000 in scholarships and grants to various organizations and we are proud to continue this work.
 
We are pushing hard to partner with the state to provide sustainable funding for the Build Your Future (BYF) program. There is some positive legislation that was forth this year that we believe will help support workforce development. We also partner with a number of organizations across the commonwealth who are ready and waiting with resources to help you build a robust talent pipeline.
 
Connect
As an association, we continue to focus on opportunities for members to grow their professional networks within their districts and beyond.  This year, look for opportunities to attend multi-district events, and connect with an expanded group of your fellow members.
 
Additionally, we are working to accommodate busy schedules, and have a goal in place to post all upcoming events on our website a minimum of 60 days prior to the event taking place.  I encourage you to visit our event calendar and plan to join us for an event (or several) this year.  We are also continuing to work from new guidelines we created during my tenure as chair of the District Officers Council (DOC), which are designed to help provide you with a similar experience from district to district.
 
I encourage you to get engaged in the AGCVA community. We have over 500 companies in our association and any number of ways for you to put your membership to work for you.  I challenge each member at every level…ownership, executive management, field staff, and project management to get involved. Your membership has value, and I urge you to use it to the fullest extent you can.
 
I look forward to meeting many of you this year. I plan to travel to each of the districts the first half of this year to meet with executive committees, attend events to talk about what is going on across Virginia, and share the message of what is happening at the state level for all AGCVA members.
 
Thank you for your membership.  It is an honor and a privilege to serve you, and I am proud to call you a fellow member of AGCVA.

AGCVA Chair, 2023-2024
