MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Butch Marcelle, Chairman of AGC NYS, LLC
Wow! Where did the time go? It seems like we just met in Grand Cayman yesterday.
As you know, the AGC has been very busy during the past year. We hired our new President and
CEO – Mike Elmendorf and he has been busy and focused on learning about our industry, meeting
our members, building our team, reviewing and changing our processes, and raising our profile. Mike has and
will continue to “get out” and engage our members in their offices and jobsites in an effort to learn, listen and
respond to Members’ needs. He and the staff continue to find new and creative ways to increase our clout and impact while providing
support and guidance to our Members.
I hope you have seen a significant improvement in our communications, responsiveness, stature and energy. Our goal continues
to be to provide exceptional service and value to our members while transforming ourselves into the “Preeminent Construction
Industry Association in New York State” and the “first called” when matters relating to our industry are being discussed.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to the Members, dedicated staff, Executive
Committee and Board Members that steadfastly supported and assisted in the effort to reshape our association.
There is still much work left to accomplish and we are fortunate to have: Mike, Paul and Vince at the helm to continue to move us
forward out – ahead.
It has been a privilege and pleasure to serve as your Chairman during this year. In reflecting, I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge
the years of dedicated service that was provided to our Association by the Chairmen and Presidents who served with distinction
before me and the leadership and wisdom of Jeff and A.J. who forged ahead with the merger. Much has changed and much
will continue to change as we learn to “adapt” to the “new normal” and continue to shape AGC NYS to deal with the uncertainties
that lie ahead.
Thank you and best wishes for a healthy, happy and prosperous 2012.
Sincerely,
Butch Marcelle
