MISSIONMEMBERS & CHAPTERS
Protecting the industry from Washington and workplace hazards is mission critical work. But so too is the work we do to provide members and chapters with invaluable educational opportunities and to connect them with the resources and people they need to be successful. As important, we connect members with each other to share success stories, build networks and create a nationwide community of construction leaders.
EDUCATING MORE MEMBERS
AGC of America reached over 10,000 construction professionals with its range of education programs in 2025, a 15 percent increase from the prior year. This includes individuals who signed up for one of our formal education programs like the AGC Edge, AGC’s safety offerings, AMP and PMC and those who participated in ad hoc learning during our webinars, masterclass series, or were involved in our various certificate programs.
AGC Education piloted a Spanish language edition of our Construction Supervision Fundamentals course, Fundamentos en Supervisión de la Construcción, to provide professional development opportunity for AGC member company personnel who manage teams on project sites.
LAUNCHING THE NEW SUPERVISORYTRAINING PROGRAM
In addition, AGC launched a revamped version of its Supervisory Training Program in 2025. Built by contractors, for contractors, the new program offers six comprehensive units covering leadership, communication, planning, contractors, productivity and risk management. As with all AGC of America programs, the new supervisory training program is available both as an in-seat class or as an AGC Edge live virtual education program.

RECRUITING AGC CHAMPIONS AND AMBASSADORS
Our newly launched AGC Champions initiative recruited more than 700 members to serve as chapter-wide advocates to help other members understand why and how to engage with their national association. As part of this initiative, we convened regular meetings, launched a new Champions newsletter and created a Champions Resource Library. Meanwhile, we continued to strengthen the AGC Ambassador program, where members volunteer to help their peers get the most out of AGC of America’s in-person events. We recruited more than 100 ambassadors to help enhance the in-person AGC of America experience in 2025.
RELEASING NEW AI GUIDES FOR MEMBERSAND CHAPTERS
AGC of America is helping members and chapters understand the benefits, and risks of adopting new artificial intelligence tools. We released two new member guides in 2025. The first is the AI Roadmap: Technology Adoption for Small and Mid-Sized Contractors. The second is the AI Resource Guide for Construction, which is designed especially for small and medium-sized construction companies. AGC also released an AI Resource Guide for Chapters and held sessions on how to use artificial intelligence in different aspects of construction during our in-person events in 2025.
GIVING BACK TO OUR CONVENTIONHOST COMMUNITY
AGC Charities Inc., Kokosing and United Rentals teamed up to lead dozens of volunteers from member firms to assemble all the walls for a new house being built by Habitat for Humanity Delaware and Union Counties. The event took place the day before the start of AGC of America’s Annual Convention in Columbus, Ohio. As part of the volunteer workday, members cut wood and assembled the various pieces into prefabricated walls that were later erected on land own by Habitat for Humanity for a deserving family. More important, the volunteer members had fun and got to spend time with their colleagues from across the country while doing something worthwhile.
AGC MEMBER AWARDS AND RECOGNITION PROGRAMS
A record number of firms participated in AGC of America’s various awards programs in 2025. These awards, which include the Baldwin Group Build America Awards, the Construction Safety Excellence Awards, the Innovation Awards, the AGC in the Community Awards and the Bowen Prize for Great Builders, recognize and honor some of the industry’s most outstanding accomplishments. They are also designed in a way to showcase these member successes and encourage other firms to learn from and possibly emulate them.
MEMBER DISCOUNT PROGRAMS
AGC of America’s broad range of member discount programs saved members over $14.5 million in 2025. In addition to existing discount programs for fuel, fleet management and software, among other vital services, AGC also launched new member discount programs with FedEx for shipping services and with Speedchain for corporate charge card and spending management services.
BUILDING STRONGER TIES WITH OUR CHAPTERS
We continued to strengthen AGC of America’s relationship with our nationwide network of chapters. This work included dozens of in-person visits to chapters to support their annual meetings, conferences, and other key events. We also convened ongoing chapter networks focused on communications, membership development, government relations and other core association services. In addition, we support the chapter-led self-assessment initiative, which enables chapters to benchmark their performance, identify opportunities for improvement, and strengthen overall operations.
LAUNCHING TECH DEMO DAYS
AGC of America launched a new series of Tech Demo Days during 2025 in response to requests from many small- and mid-sized member firms for low-pressure technology education and evaluation. During the Demo Days, we invite a range of technology providers to showcase the tools they have available to address a range of key construction issues. Over 1,100 people participated in the Tech Demo Days in 2025, and registration is open for more sessions taking place in 2026.
RELEASING UPDATED CONSENSUSDOCS FOR CM@R CONTRACTS AND TARIFF GUIDANCE
The AGC-led ConsensusDocs Coalition released an updated Standard Agreement Between Owner and Construction Manager At-Risk, which strengthens clarity and collaboration. The updated document clarifies the risk of loss transfer, includes a shared savings clause and streamlines insurance and reporting provisions. AGC and ConsensusDocs continually updated their tariff resource center with new guidance. In addition, AGC and ConsensusDocs also remain the only publishers of standard construction contract documents to offer a standard price escalation clause.
