We have recently established a Construction Leadership Council (CLC) for the Chicagoland commercial construction industry. More than half of all AGC chapters nationwide have similar programs for under-40 employees to network, exchange ideas about work and the industry, serve our communities, and participate in continuing education featuring both professional development and leadership skills.

Thank you to our members who have submitted 2015 Dues renewals the last few weeks. All members should have received statements last month. We look forward to continuing to serve your interests and grow your Chicagoland AGC chapter. Please feel free to call us with any Membership inquiries at (773) 444-0465.

Thank you to our member firms that submitted salary and benefits information for the 2014 Builders Association Construction Industry Salary Survey. We are currently aggregating the data and plan to release the report by the end of the year.
