About the Oregon-Columbia Chapter

View of concrete pourSince 1922, the AGC Oregon-Columbia Chapter has served as the voice of the commercial construction industry. The association provides its members with a forum for exchange of ideas and services designed to enhance the professionalism of the construction industry, including workers’ compensation and health insurance; legislative and governmental representation; safety and loss control consulting; training and apprenticeship programs; and education and pension programs. The chapter also sponsors AGC University, which provides professional development training to the commercial construction industry.

Representing the Commercial Construction Industry

With nearly 1,000 member companies, AGC is the only trade association representing the full range of commercial construction from industrial to building, from heavy highway to multi-family residential.

AGC offers a full array of services: innovative workers’ compensation programs; health insurance and pension plans; lobbying on the local, state and federal levels; management training programs; safety training; labor relations; and human resources consulting.

Building Our Future

AGC is working today to meet Oregon’s future construction needs. Workforce development is a targeted priority—efforts are currently underway to assure a highly skilled, diverse workforce through support of apprenticeship and school-to-work programs. AGC has also joined with other regional partners to provide mentoring programs for emerging construction businesses with a special focus on minority and women-owned companies.

AGC is an association hard at work in the community as your advocate; AGC supplies you with staff expertise you cannot usually afford to hire yourself; AGC offers educational programs which make your current workforce more productive and help you to grow a workforce for the future; and AGC sponsors programs which will give you a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
