On February 1, 2023, more than 260 AGC Houston members gathered at the Junior League of Houston for our Annual Chapter Meeting.
Those who attended the meeting got to hear from Steve Sandherr, President of Associated General Contractors of America, on what AGC of America is doing at a national level and provided a political and economic lookahead from the national perspective. In addition to this, he explained the advocacy issues AGC of America is dealing with and how they're working to overcome them.
Members also got to hear from Corbin Van Arsdale, President of Texas Building Branch, who spoke of the upcoming Texas legislative session, gave a recap of the past Texas elections and explained how this could impact the session, and encouraged members to attend AGC-TBB Legislative Day (March 8th).
