This year, AGC launched a new initiative to highlight public agencies
for their success in getting the best value out of every construction dollar. After an extensive survey of AGC's 1,100+ member firms, five public agencies rose to the top.
2019 AGC Presdent Steve Friar presented University California San Diego's (UCSD's) Rhonda Mitchell and Joel King the Best of the Best Public Owner Award! We're so proud of you, Rhonda!
The Block Kids Building Competition, a partnership between the Girl Scouts of Central Texas and the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC), will feature 50 girls from kindergarten to sixth grade. Each will get 100 Lego blocks and one hour to build whatever she chooses.
Happy New Year! The Leadership Book Club is excited to announce that they have selected "Dream Wide Awake," a book written by a NAWIC member, Sherre’ DeMao, from the Charlotte, North Carolina Chapter, where she is currently serving as their Corresponding Secretary.

You’ll hear from Angela Highland on building a personal brand in the digital age; read a continuation of our “Growing Pains” series, in which we discuss the importance of integrating technological change into our roadmaps for the future; gain insight into decoding software agreements; and learn about building a net zero energy efficient home with integrated smart technology. Our Safety Committee also shares some information and tips on cybersecurity, and you’ll hear from our Membership and Marketing Committee about how NAWIC powers each of us. Stay on the cutting edge with Today’s technology issue!
