AGC’s Emerging Leaders program exists to educate, connect and engage entry- to mid-level construction professionals so that together, we learn the industry, develop powerful networks, and build our communities.

About the AGC Emerging Leaders Program
The AGC Emerging Leaders program was originally established as the AGC of California Construction Leadership Council (CLC), to help develop the next generation of industry leaders. In 2021, the CLC voted to change the name to ensure clarity around the program’s role for current and prospective participants.

Our Values

  • Educate: We provide a convenient “one-stop shop” for accessing relevant industry training and certification programs.
  • Connect: We foster a strong network, connecting professionals from across the industry and facilitating an open forum for the exchange of ideas and discussion of key issues facing the industry today.
  • Engage: We offer opportunities to engage and affect a healthy construction industry for tomorrow, including leadership roles, junior advocacy, exposure to all facets of the industry and the legislation affecting it, various charitable activities, and more.

Industry Voices

I highly encourage young people to get involved with AGC Emerging Leaders. The program gives them a platform to practice leadership and learn about industry issues and strategies, while building lasting relationships with their peers from other companies. Creating this foundation early in their careers will serve them well as they grow in leadership at their own companies.

From the first EL event I went to, it was really nice to walk into a room of other mid-level professionals like myself and feel like I belonged.

Over the last five years, AGC has continuously provided me with opportunities to network, enhance my communication skills, take on leadership roles, step outside my comfort zone for my own benefit, learn how policy changes affect our livelihood, and advance professionally.
