Annual Convention
AGC Georgia is busy making plans to host you, your family and your colleagues at the Westin in Hilton Head Island from Thursday, June 6 to Sunday, June 9. As of Tuesday morning, March 19, our hotel block sold out. You are encouraged to email Machell Harper if you wish to be added to our wait list. We also encourage to you check travel websites, including VRBO to find alternative lodging options near our host resort.
Fun highlight of our Annual Convention will be our keynote speaker - Green Beret Commander Mark Nutsch. He was portrayed by actor Chris Hemsworth in the movie 12 Strong and in a New York best-selling book, Horse Soldiers. In October 2001 following the attacks on 9/11, Nutsch led a heroic 12-man team of U.S. Special Forces on a covert mission to Afghanistan, where they would ride to war on horses to fight the enemy—side by side with their Muslim counterparts—capture the strategic city of Mazar-i-Sharif within a matter of weeks, and successfully overthrow the Taliban.

A message from President Kuntz on Mentoring
January 2019
by Kevin W. Kuntz
It’s no secret that Workforce Development is one of the construction industry’s greatest challenges. So, it’s fitting that January is National Mentoring Month, because it’s my personal mission as President of AGC Georgia to highlight the importance of mentoring in order to develop a stronger future workforce in the construction industry. By providing leadership to the incoming generation, we are able to help them grow professional and personally.
AGC Georgia’s Young Leadership Program and the Executive Alliance collaborated on the development of a mentoring session about “Attracting, Retaining and Developing Talent through Mentoring.” Helping guide the session was McCarthy Construction’s National Trainer Courtney Tucker, who provided vital insights on how to be successful. She understands those best practices all too well, succeeding as a female in an industry that is heavily dominated by males. Read more
