MOVING MOUNTAINS
Helping Drive Change and Transformation in Our Industry
BY PETER TATEISHI, CEO I
n every industry across the country, we are seeing a generational shift as Baby Boomers continue to retire
and both Gen X and Millennials ascend into leadership roles. This is happening in the construction industry as well. From technology, to new construction methods and materials, to our people, we are seeing our industry change and transform right in front of us. Tat is why AGC of California con-
tinues to focus on how we develop not just our future pipeline, but also our existing teams. Leadership at all levels matters. Investing in our teams and our future leaders is paramount to meeting the challenges of change and transfor- mation. Business as usual is not “the usual” anymore. At AGC of California, some of the many
ways we are working to meet workforce needs and invest in our future are through our Construction Education Foundation programs such as Emerging Leaders, Project Engage, and AGC Student Chap- ters. Tese programs allow us to identify leaders, invest and develop them, and position them for leadership roles within your company and our industry. We are also supporting culture and leadership development through our DE&I programs such as the Inclusive Leaders Institute, our DE&I Assessment Tool, and the SUB Forum, to name a few.

tion industry and in local communities throughout California, there are plenty of noteworthy people, programs and projects that stand out for creating a lasting impact. In this edition of California Constructor magazine, we highlight a few particularly inspiring people, programs and projects that serve as a model for others. Look inside for spotlights on Anthony
Fagan, superintendent for PCL Construc- tion on the iconic Destination Crenshaw project in South Los Angeles; on Opportu- nity Build, a pre-apprenticeship program that is helping underserved individuals in the Bay Area get into the trades; and on the $2.7 billion Biosolids Digester Facility Project in San Francisco, where the joint venture contractor is raising the bar with its local hiring goals to ensure that residents share in the success of this major infrastructure project being built in their own back yard. We hope you will be inspired by these
stories as we were, and that you’ll con- tinue to engage with AGC of California’s many programs and services in order to be part of the change and transformation that is taking place. We continue to believe that construction is vital to the success of California, which means that your success with your current and future leaders and business practices are paramount to the future of our state.
