Welcome to AGC's Future Leadership Forum
Construction in Washington State has flourished over the years with
the help of strong leadership within the industry and the AGC of
Washington. To ensure an equally successful future it is important for
the next group of leaders to develop and prepare themselves for the
future challenges of the industry. AGC of Washington recognized the
need for a forum that targets our young professionals and provides an
avenue to their involvement with the AGC. In 2007, the AGC Future
Leadership Forum (FLF) was created as that avenue.
Eligibility:
FLF activities are open to all early and
mid-career construction industry professionals employed by an AGC
member firm. To be placed on the mailing list to receive info on future
activities, send an email to Sarah Teague, steague@agcwa.com.
Purpose and Mission Statement:
FLF
is a program to develop the professional and people skills of the up
and coming leaders of Washington's construction industry. The FLF is
focused on providing events centered on education, professional
development and networking to enhance participants' knowledge of the
local marketplace, the construction industry, the AGC, and their own
potential as leaders.
Objectives:
• To be an open forum to exchange ideas.
• To be an entry vehicle into AGC to promote new member involvement.
• To foster a strong network among peers.
• To create and promote industry innovation.
• To help members stay current on industry trends and best practices.
• To help strengthen AGC of Washington for the 21st Century.
Activities:
This
past year FLF has held educational programs on BIM, bonding and
insurance, construction economics, and government affairs/lobbying.
Social activities have included a Mariners' game outing and pub visits.
Join the mailing list to keep apprised of future activities!
