“Hey, Cork. It’s Robert Cramer. I had a 

message you called.” 

“Yeah, I asked your wife for some 

embarrassing material on you so I could 

share it the next time I’m talking to 800 

people.” 

“That sounds great, Cork. I’d like to see it. While I have you on the 

phone, what would you say is the Culture of AGCI. What defines who 

we are?” 

“AGC makes a family out of the industry. You start to see your 

competitors as real people. Second, access. We feel like AGC gives us 

access to IDOT, legislators, etc. Lastly, we think AGC has opened up 

opportunities for us. Oh. I got another call.” (click) 

That’s a pretty good answer off the cuff. How would you define the 

AGC of Iowa culture? If culture is simply a combination of what things/ 

behaviors we encourage what things/behaviors we don’t like, what is 

AGCI culture? 

It starts with our motto: Skill, Integrity, and Responsibility. But where 

does it go from there? That’s a discussion I’d like to have throughout 

this year. Let’s think about all the good that AGC represents, but let’s 

also think about which To Meet areas we need October to improve. I remember 19th hearing 

my dad call the D.O.T. and tell them they had accidently overpaid us on 

an item. I remember Cedar Valley sticking with our sub price even when 

they may have been tempted to take a cut from someone else after the 

letting. That’s part of the culture of AGC. I’m proud to be part of this 

association.

I’d like to hear what you think about AGCI. Email me your thoughts 

and we’ll continue the discussion in future newsletters. (rcramer@ 

cramerandassociatesinc.com) If we’re intentional about it, we can 

change our culture where needed. 

Speaking of change, we announced the new structure of AGCI and 

our new employee at the recent AGC Days. First of all, Scott Newhard 

is the Executive Vice President. He has the ultimate responsibility for 

everything done at AGCI. Directly under Scott is the Vice President 

for Operations, our new addition to the team, Andy Warren. Andy will 

be charged with managing the office and focusing on membership 

development. 

Andy was formerly the Iowa Director of the National Federation of 

Independent Business. There, he led the nation in membership growth 

percentage and retention rate. Andy also has an extensive political 

background serving in various roles including the Chief of Staff for 

wards 

Senator Iverson when he was Majority Leader in the Iowa Senate. Andy 

was the “gate keeper” of the Senate at that time and was a friend to the 

highway industry. Although Andy’s current role won’t involve lobbying, 

he will partner with Scott in communicating what Scott is doing on the 

hill. 

This first year, one of Andy’s most important functions will be to observe 

and evaluate everything we do. He will develop criteria for the staff and 

the board to use in evaluating all of our functions and then creatively 

improve or replace them. I’m looking forward 

to watching this process unfold. 

Andy Warren 

Vice President for Operations 

Andy is also going to help us focus on our 

Associate Members. Our Associate Members 

give so much to our association. We want to 

make sure we’re giving them the opportunity 

to maximize their exposure to the other 

members and that we’re helping them develop 

as companies as well. 

Andy will be a great addition to our excellent 

staff. And, hats off to our staff who did an 

amazing job putting together the convention 

and performing all the other duties during this transition. 

Next, I’d like to bring to your attention another step in the evolution of 

our AGCI Career Center (www.agciajobs.com). In addition to finding 

dozens of qualified applicants, meeting our EEO obligations, offering 

associate members opportunities to find help and to advertise to other 

members, we are now adding another function…the ability to manage 

and report on the applications. This is a very cool tool that will help 

members sort through the applicants and to report the right information if 

you’re audited by the OFCCP, or other agencies. Call Becky at the AGCI 

Office if you’d like to learn more. 

Lastly, Steve Sandquist, Drew Manatt and Jay Freiermuth have been 

working very hard to put together Leadership Training for us. Please

Elder Corporation 

“A strong work ethic will get you far in life” 

Instilling a good work ethic is what has kept three generations 

of Elders busy for 50 years with a successful family construction 

company. Starting with a pickup and a Ford tractor, RG Elder 

and his son Jerry Elder founded Elder Corporation in 1960 in Des 

Moines, Iowa. 

RG Elder had worked as a superintendent for RJC Construction 

and Orville Crowley, as a carpenter foreman. His son, Jared Elder 

was only a senior in high school when they started doing residential 

work and shortly thereafter they bought their first end loader. Jerry 

had enough credit hours that he didn’t always have classes for the 

entire day and would dig basements during his lunch or when he 

only had half days of school. Then he would return to school for 

his sports or after school activities. Following graduation, they kept 

their business moving forward and really started growing in the early 

1970’s doing more commercial projects. 

Jerry Elder has been married to his wife Judi for 47 years. They 

have two children Julie Wood and Jared (Jay) Elder II. Julie lives in 

Indianapolis and Jay is President of Elder Corporation after Jerry 

retired four years ago. Judi still does the monthly billings for Elder 

Corporation. 

Like many children in construction families, Jay started sweeping 

the shop floor when he was nine years old and remembers sitting 

in the office doing his homework. He started mowing properties 

with his Grandpa RG when he was very young and Jay says “his 

Grandpa always instilled a good work ethic.” Along with mowing, 

Jay did many jobs around the company growing up, but told his 

dad when he graduated from high school he wanted to be a dump 

truck driver. His dad (Jerry) said, “You need to get a college degree 

first and then you can be a dump truck driver.” Jay graduated from 

Iowa State with a degree in Landscape Architecture and thought 

he wanted to design golf courses. He went to work for Ted Lare 

Design/Build for a year, passed his test as a licensed landscape 

architect and then decided to work with his dad at Elder Corporation 

and has been there ever since. 

Elder Corporation does site grading & excavation, concrete paving, 

site development, demolition and underground utilities. They have 

been involved with developing many sports complexes, but a favorite 

project would be the Southeast Polk artificial football field they did 

using their GPS equipment. Elder Corporation also played a major 

role in the I-235 project. 

Employing 150 people, Elder Corporation works within a 60 mile 

radius of Des Moines. Only twice have they left the state of Iowa 

to do work. Once was to help build the Empire Mall in Sioux Falls, 

South Dakota and another time to help build a mall in Pine Bluff, 

Arkansas. 

Elder Corporation has been members of AGC of Iowa since 1990. 

Jay says, 

“AGC of Iowa has helped his company with many areas of safety 

services including training.” The PAC auction and ensuring the road 

fund always has money are other benefits Jay utilizes with AGC of 

Iowa. Relationships with fellow members are also important. “When 

Elder Corporation restructured in 2000, Gary Sandquist and Jim 

Rasmussen really believed in me and my family. They gave us a 

chance and I still appreciate it to this day,” says Jay. 

Challenges always come with owning a company, “when times are 

good, you grow and put more systems in place but when times are 

bad, you try to figure out how to cut back and consolidate people,” 

says Jay. He said, “People always think it is rosy at the top, but it is 

stressful because we have to make the tough decisions.” 

Jay has been married to his wife Faith for 16 years. They have 

two children Jared III, 10 and Jaden, 8. His son Jared was only two 

years old when he wanted to ride in the dump truck so his parents 

told him that when he could go potty on his own he could. Jared 

has also been plowing snow this year with his dad. Jay’s wife Faith 

cooks a meal once a week for the office staff and both kids help her 

with that as well as spending time at the office just like Jay did when 

he was young. 

Along with keeping very busy with Elder Corporation, Jay is active 

with the Pleasant Hill Economic Development Board where he serves 

as Vice President. He is an advocate for a healthy lifestyle at home 

and at work and is the Founder of the Copper Creek Triathlon. Jay 

also serves on the board and volunteers for Wildwood Hills Ranch 

in St. Charles. Check out their website at www.wildwoodhillsranch. 

com. 

Elder Corporation is celebrating their 50th anniversary this year 

and hopes to have many more years building with other quality 

fellow AGC of Iowa contractors.

AGC of Iowa Honors 2009 Member of the Year 

It is the privilege of the Executive Committee to select one person 

who embodies Executive excellence, someone Vice who President 

provides a beacon for our 

entire AGCI Community. Each year the officers are challenged to 

select just one. The Member of the Year award is AGCI’s highest 

individual annual recognition. 

Joan Lents, Gus Construction Company, Inc. was chosen as our 

2009 Member of the Year. As you all know, for years our skilled talent 

pool has been shrinking. It has been difficult for everyone to find the 

skilled trade’s people we need to construct our region’s roads, bridges 

and utilities. Joan spent countless hours this past year working on 

behalf of AGCI to procure a workable product for AGCI members. She 

pushed our industry into the future when she focused her attention on 

Welcomes These New Membe 

& Lifetime Achievement Award 

what contractors needed to help them find skilled employees. She 

spent endless hours contacting contractor members, and presenting 

at meetings on behalf of AGCI’s Career Board. Joan is the new chair 

of AGCI’s Workforce Development Committee and with her behind the 

helm; we can expect great things for AGCI. We proudly honor her as 

the 2009 AGCI Member of the Year.

Involvement with AGC Career Board 

Joan Clays started with Gus Announcement 

Construction, in Casey, in October of 2007 

as the Controller. Gus Construction specializes in concrete poured 

box culverts, patch paving, and polished concrete floors and is located 

about 50 miles west of Des Moines on Interstate 80. Along with the 

financial Council 

duties, she was asked to do hiring, benefits, and all the 

related tasks of taking care of employees. Joan quickly found locating 

quality new hires was expensive, time consuming, and resulted in very 

few long term hires. She also found the EEO and Affirmative Action 

requirements quite labor intensive. 

Joan attended one of AGCI workforce development meetings and 

found others were having similar problems. Working with others 

from the workforce development committee, provided the opportunity 

for the online career board specializing in the highway construction 

industry. The online AGC career board has provided the candidates 

she needed to hire, at a reasonable cost, and automatically keeps the 

required EEO and Affirmative Action records. Everything is right at 

your fingertips for hiring new employees. 

Joan reports on her experience, “It was terrific to work with others 

who really want to move the construction industry ahead, and find new 

approaches. The AGC provides an excellent venue to get involved 

with other contractors and see real results! It is great to see other 

contractors enjoying the benefits.”
