statewide event since the pandemic. Construct 2021 was a huge success,


with 460 people in attendance, generous sponsors, and a record setting 90 students from our AGC student chapters. It was a chance for our membership to catch up on the wins of the association, practical ap- plications and forecasting of cutting-edge technology that will revolutionize our industry, and engaging keynotes on how to build company culture and support the mental health of our employees. And just like old times, there were a few rounds of cocktails, business deals, and stories of the past taking place in the hotel bar. It was awesome to reconnect. Member engagement at AGC is at an all-time high (nearly 65%), and member recruitment blew the competition out of the water in 2021. We’ll build on this


momentum by expanding our training offerings, connecting our members and their teams with issues they are pas- sionate about, continuing to strengthen relationships with our union partners, public agencies, legislators, and each other, and sharing the career opportu- nities our industry offers young people through Build California, AGC Student Chapters and Emerging Leaders groups. AGC staff and our 2022 slate of vol-


unteer leaders are ready and excited for the challenge. How will you engage and be a part of this year’s success?


Construction is a relationship business, and we all look forward to our 2022 in-person events.


Kindest regards, Dina Kimble, President
