Insights from AGC Houston's Leadership AGC (LAGC) Legislative Briefing and Advocacy Program
Last week, our 2024 Leadership AGC class and members of our AGC Houston Government Affairs committee gathered for a legislative briefing and advocacy program. At the program, the LAGC class heard from Corbin Van Arsdale, President & General Counsel at AGC-Texas Building Branch, on the AGC-TBB History and the Texas legislative process. Additionally, they gained insights into how political action committees work from Ben Johanneman of Linbeck Group, LLC, and received an overview of how the AGC Houston government affairs committee operates and their efforts to ensure pro-construction legislation gets passed, from Rich Fanning of TDIndustries, Inc. Lastly, they discussed the process of lawmaking with John Marshall of Satterfield & Pontikes Construction, Inc.
