Testimonials

“Being a part of the AGC national conventions has been a huge part of creating my path to success. Not only do you meet and build new relationships with people in the same industry as you, but you also get to see many perspectives on how to better our industry and overcome the battles we will all face. I have had the privilege to be a part of panels and other forms of group discussions at these conventions that have given me a great level of knowledge and insight as I look to begin my career in this industry.”

-Bethany Lotterer, President of AGC Student Chapter at Pittsburg State University

“Attending the AGC Convention during my junior year was an awakening to the endless opportunities that await me in the construction industry. Thanks to AGC, I was able to maintain four new industry connections, acquire two job offers, and gain priceless knowledge on communication, finances, equipment, materials, methods, and sustainability. This is an experience that I wish I had been a part of since my freshman year of college. To future students attending: Be confident and vocal because there is a strong AGC connection waiting to help you fulfill your dreams, I promise.

-Najahte King, President of AGC Student Chapter at Florida A&M University
