“AGC places a heavy emphasis on diversity, equity and inclusion. We are dedicated to helping our members and industry increase these efforts in the workplace to make real and lasting impacts.” Mike Blach, 2020-21 President
AGC of California
The construction industry’s success is contingent on the diverse backgrounds and experiences that influence and shape our built environment. Our current and future workforce expects change, and employers that have clearly established cultures honoring diversity, equity, inclusivity, and safety. In fact, studies show that companies who invest in DEI programs see improved teamwork, innovation, and productivity, and experience improved financial results.
In early 2020 AGC’s State Board of Directors (SBOD) engaged in focused dialogue around opportunities to provide guidance and resources to AGC member companies on how to address DEI issues. It became clear that our members were seeking guidance on how to make a true impact in this area. As a result, the DEI Task Force was established, under AGC’s Construction Education Foundation, to help advance our commitment to prioritizing diversity, equity, and inclusion across the industry, membership, and leadership. The Task Force convened regularly throughout the year to provide AGC’s State Board and the AGC Construction Education Foundation’s Board with actionable input on DEI policies, programs, trainings and best practices relevant to workforces, subcontractors, and suppliers.
AGC’s DEI Steering Committee helps guide the development of recommendations called out in the DEI Task Force Report (PDF), and leads the DEI Forum.
