CAGC MEMBERS AND STAFF LOBBY FOR<br />
CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT<br />
In late September, Carolinas AGC (CAGC) leaders met in<br />
Washington, D.C. with Congressional Delegations from<br />
the Carolinas to urge their support of infrastructure<br />
and Career Technical Education funding and oppose<br />
mandatory Project Labor Agreements, burdensome Buy<br />
America provisions and proposed heat standards that<br />
would be extremely impractical for the construction<br />
industry.<br />
The three-day National & Chapter Leadership<br />
Conference, from Sept. 18-20, featured business and<br />
political sessions, networking events and visits to Capitol<br />
Hill by about 300 representatives of AGC of America’s 89<br />
chapters, including CAGC.<br />
“This year’s AGC National Chapter Leadership Conference<br />
again gave us a great opportunity to help support the<br />

construction industry in the Carolinas by informing us of<br />
the latest on what we need to know politically and then<br />
having us do something about it by making personal visits<br />
with our Congressional delegations in North and South<br />
Carolina,” said Charlie Wilson, Chair of the CAGC Board<br />
of Directors.<br />
CAGC representatives participating in the AGCA event<br />
included the five BOD Officers – Charlie Wilson,<br />
President; Mark Johnnie, Chair Elect; Dean Wilson,<br />
Treasurer; Ty Edmondson, Vice Chair; and Casey<br />
Schwager, Immediate Past Chair. Also participating in<br />
the annual outing were Dave Simpson, CAGC President<br />
& CEO, and Allen Gray, Director of AGCA’s Utility<br />
Infrastructure Division and former CAGC Utility Division<br />
Director.
