The Nevada Chapter Associated General Contractors (AGC) was recently awarded the 2021 Chapter of the Year Award by the AGC of America (AGCA).

AGCA recognizes small, medium and large Chapters that have “developed outstanding programming and excelled at achieving tangible accomplishments during the calendar year,” according to an Oct. 19 press release.

The Nevada Chapter won in the medium category, for those chapters with annual budgets between $1 and $2.5 million.

“2020 was an unprecedented year that brought challenge after challenge. The Nevada Chapter AGC came together to keep construction open, keep our crews working and keep contributing to the economy,” Craig Madole, Nevada AGC CEO, said in a statement. “We were working closely with OSHA and our other regulatory partners to make sure our members knew how to ensure the safety of their employees while continuing to build the roads, schools and hospitals our region depends on.”

Per the press release, accomplishments noted for the local chapter include: AGC members procured and delivered over 10,000 face masks and hundreds of gallons of hand sanitizer; developed and fully funded a Construction Management Minor program at UNR; created a healthcare plan for members; and continued community involvement by conducting their regular school supply drive for the students at Lemmelson Stem Academy; adopting families from Lemmelson, the Northern Nevada Children’s Cancer Foundation and the Children’s Cabinet for the holidays; and raising money for the students at ACE Charter High School.

“We have been a member of the Nevada Chapter for almost 40 years and I have never been prouder to be a part of this organization,” Bob Gardner, President of Gardner Engineering and 2020 AGC Board President, said in a statement.  “The AGC accomplished remarkable things in 2020 and I am honored to have served as their President. Our entire membership should be proud of this award and everything we accomplished as an industry during such trying times.”

Members were honored at the Chapter Awards Dinner in Orlando, Florida, on Sept. 19.

Founded in 1939, the Nevada Chapter AGC is the state’s leading commercial construction trade association, composed of Northern Nevada’s top general contractors, specialty contractors and building professionals.
