Working with others in your industry to bring growth and positive change opportunities is one of the most critical aspects when you are in business for yourself. This is true of the construction industry, which thrives when companies work together to make everyone’s work the best it can be.
One of the advantages of being an AGCW member is to build these types of relationships. It’s what we hear all the time from our own members: the no. 1 benefit is to network and build relationships. And, we’re more than happy to make that happen.
Here is a look at what we can do to help create these networking opportunities and business relationships. We want our members to have a robust and up-to-date network to help them truly connect with the entire community. Here is how we can help.
Networking events
Throughout the year, we sponsor meetings and other events that not only educate and inform but also give our members a chance to meet others in the industry.
A strong brand name
AGCW has a strong professional brand in the community, and through that we can be a bridge-builder between members and others in the industry, to discuss concerns, ideas and hopes for future success. Informal meetings happen all the time – and are encouraged.
Professional development
Through our education programs, we hope to foster professional and personal growth among our members. This way, you can also meet others in that same boat.
Affinity groups
We have targeted groups that can help with your concerns and meet others. They include the Construction Leadership Council, Open-Shop Contractors, the Human Resources Roundtable and the Risk Management Forum.
Making efficiencies happen
Through our industry information events, we can save you time and money as you work through the evolution and changes in our industry.
Promotion and marketing
We have advertising, sponsorship and other opportunities for your business to get in front of others in the industry. You can promote your own products and services while meeting others in the field.
Bringing opportunities closer to you
Access to our members is just one of the benefits of being part of ACG of Washington. From health plans to retirement plans, recognition events to lobbying for your efforts, we can put the concerns and needs of the construction industry at the forefront in the state.
