Duffey Southeast is also part of the AGC Retirement Savings Plan which is a great benefit to their employees as they work to be better prepared for retirement.

When Dan saw a void in access for high school construction programs in northwest Georgia to participate in AGC Georgia’s Skills Challenge series, he volunteered, along with many on his team, to be a champion for an event. The Northwest Georgia Skills Challenge will hold its fourth annual competition in the fall of 2023 in Rome. It is one of eight high school trade competitions in the series that reaches 2,000 students who are interested in learning more about careers in construction.

A great leader is someone who understands the value of leading by example and helping others find their path. Dan empowers many on his team to be involved. With his support and encouragement, several on the Duffey team are members of the AGC Georgia’s Young Leadership Program and the Executive Alliance. He’s also a great supporter of the association’s supervisor safety award program and values recognizing Duffey’s front line field supervisors for their important contributions to the firm’s success.
