AGC of America
Ted Aadland, 2010 AGC of America President, 1993 Oregon-Columbia Chapter President
Located in the Metropolitan Washington, DC area, The Associated General Contractors of America (AGCA) is the leading association for the construction industry. Operating in partnership with its nationwide network of chapters, AGCA provides a full range of services satisfying the needs and concerns of its members, thereby improving the quality of construction and protecting the public interest.
AGC was established in 1918 after a request by President Woodrow Wilson. Wilson recognized the construction industry’s national importance and desired a partner with which the government could discuss and plan for the advancement of the nation. AGC has been fulfilling that mission for the last 90 years.
A full service national trade association with a nationwide network of exceptional chapters, AGC represents more than 33,000 leading firms in the industry—including general contractors, specialty contractors, and service providers and suppliers. AGC members play a powerful role in sustaining economic growth, in addition to producing structures that add to productivity and the nation’s quality of life. AGC is truly the “voice and choice” of the construction industry.
