AGC Georgia President Randy Hall invites you to join him at one of his upcoming President’s Tour meetings. He looks forward to learning the pressing issues in your region and how AGC Georgia can be more of resource for you and your team. 

During his visit with you, he’d like to begin a dialogue on diversity and inclusion in our industry and innovative ways we can create a sustainable skilled workforce. To help frame Randy’s thoughts on these issues, below is an excerpt from his president’s message in the current issue of Georgia Construction Today. 

I believe our industry is all about people. To me, it is the relationships you form with respected colleagues, clients and competitors. It also means taking care of employees – treating them fairly and sending them home safely each night to their families. I also think the phrase speaks to our need to be forward thinking as we look to secure our industry’s successful future with a skilled and diverse workforce. 

In June at the Annual Convention, I shared my thoughts on stepping up member involvement with AGC Georgia’s workforce development initiatives and opening a dialogue on diversity and inclusion. I don’t think you can have one discussion without the other. The construction industry needs more people in all areas. We don’t have a trusted and steady pipeline of skilled labor to meet jobsite demands. We also don’t have enough people in construction management degree programs to fill the void in project leadership. 

It’s my opinion that diversity in people creates diversity in thought which leads to the best possible solution. Contractors are in the problem solving business and I challenge anyone to tell me they don’t want their team to have the best opportunities to deliver the best solutions. I believe the secret to growing our skilled worker pipeline and our future project management teams is to be more inclusive in our recruiting practices and broaden our reach as we share our industry’s career opportunities. Too many people never even consider a career in construction because you and I don’t do enough to educate them. I’m ready to turn this tide, and I need your help to make a meaningful impact. 

Mark your calendar now to join us at a President’s Tour program. This series of meetings is a great time to invite peers who are not members of AGC Georgia to show them why the association is worthy of their loyal support.
