The Associated General Contractors of America recognizes only three of its 89 chapters annually that have developed exceptional programming and have excelled at achieving tangible accomplishments, like impactful legislation and workforce development efforts. One winner each is chosen from their small division (under $1M), medium division ($1M – under $2.5M) and large division (over $2.5M).

 Accomplishments that helped AGCAR take its second National Chapter of the Year Award include legislative wins which positively impacted building, highway and utility contractors, and the Arkansas construction industry as a whole; 47 statewide events with record-breaking attendance; new workforce development initiatives; and substantial growth in membership.

 AGC of America President Thomas Brown presented AGCAR staff and Executive Committee Members with the distinguished award during the National and Chapter Leadership Conference on Monday, September 23, in Washington, D.C.

 “What a great honor! I am extremely proud of our team and grateful for our member family who support our initiatives, participate in our programs and make the Arkansas construction industry such an amazing environment to work in,” said AGCAR Executive Vice President Brad Spradlin.
