AGC of California CEO Receives BuildOUT Impact Award


P


eter Tateishi, chief executive officer of AGC of California


(AGC-CA), was awarded a 2022 Built Community Impact Award from BuildOUT California in June 2022 to cel- ebrate his contributions to the economic empowerment of LGBTQ+ and allied busi- nesses and professionals in construction. “AGC of California and


the construction industry have come a long way in a short time to make every member of our workforce feel included and important,” said Tateishi. “Building a strong workforce requires that we hear diverse voices, which bring vibrant perspectives needed to build a strong California. I am honored to receive this award and committed to continuing to advocate for equity in construction.” AGC of California, along with the AGC-CA Construction Education


Foundation (CEF), launched a landmark partnership in 2021 with BuildOUT California, the world’s first industry association dedicated to the sustainable growth of LGBTQ+ owned and certified businesses. Tateishi has challenged the construction community to consider and implement practices toward greater equity and inclusion, and dedi- cated AGC of California to help build a workforce that represents the state’s demographics. Under Tateishi’s leadership, AGC of California launched a Diversity


& Inclusion Task Force, a group dedicated to advancing the AGC-CA commitment to increasing diversity, equity and inclusion, that provides the AGC-CA State Board with actionable input on policies, programs, trainings and best practices respective to workforce, subcontractor, and supplier diversity and inclusion. In 2021, the association hosted its first DEI Forum, where nearly 80 executives, managers, and individual contributors from across California attended the first meeting. AGC of California also provides training, education, resources and open dialogue meant to foster and further best practice sharing among individuals working to make their companies more equitable.
