Welcome to the new year and welcome to the Associated General Contractors of Massachusetts!
It was a productive first year as CEO even as it was an unpredictable second year of the pandemic. Nevertheless, AGC MA and our members have continued to lead the industry on the issues of the day while maintaining the core services that are the foundation of our success.
With justice and equality at the forefront of our minds in 2021, we held a first-of-its-kind Diversity Summit of industry leaders, organized tools and best practices on building an inclusive work culture, participated in the first-of-its-kind Construction Inclusion Week, and our Board of Directors ratified a first-of-its-kind Commitment to Action on Diversity and Inclusion. As we continue this work, we are now looking to expand our efforts to also diversify business opportunities in the industry.

On August 16th, 2021, as a part of its continuous workforce development initiatives, the Associated General Contractors of Massachusetts (AGC MA) launched the AGC MA Building Advancement Externship (BAE) pilot program. The BAE offered an immersive experience for seven Massachusetts educators by exposing them to every aspect of the commercial construction industry through office and job site tours, a visit to the Carpenters apprentice training facility, and presentations about career paths, safety, technology, and business operations in today’s commercial construction industry. The program featured experiential learning led by highly sophisticated construction professionals and provided a comprehensive overview of the industry from the field to the office. The program’s long-term efforts will focus on establishing and maintaining partnerships between schools and AGC MA to advance awareness about commercial construction career paths.
