Atlanta, GA, Sept. 30, 2014 – The Associated General Contractors of Georgia, Inc. (AGC Georgia) announced today they are the recipient of the prestigious 2014 Large Chapter of the Year Award presented by The Associated General Contractors of America (AGC of America). This award was given out at a gala dinner in front of 350 industry leaders from across the U.S. who participated in AGC of America’s recent annual National and Chapter Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C.

Representing AGC Georgia at this conference include Randall Redding, President of R. K. Redding Construction, Inc., in Bremen and Trey Anderson, President of Anderson Construction Company of Fort Gaines, the Chapter’s 2014-15 president and vice president, as well as Mike Dunham and Mark Woodall, AGC Georgia’s CEO and director of governmental affairs.

With a national network of 94 Chapters and 25,000 member firms in the AGC organization, “receiving this award is an incredible honor for us and our membership throughout Georgia,” says Dunham. “Growing our association is similar to growing a traditional business--it takes collaboration and partnering among all stakeholders to truly maximize our potential and one that is only possible with support from our loyal and engaged members.” Member firms in AGC Georgia include the top general contractors, construction managers and specialty contractors as well as many service and supplier companies who support the commercial construction industry.

This award recognizes and applauds AGC Georgia’s many tangible accomplishments and outstanding program and service initiatives delivered to members throughout 2013-14. These were outlined in a highly competitive and rigorous nomination process showing how AGC Georgia stood out from other Chapters. In a congratulatory letter, Stephen E. Sandherr, CEO of AGC of America says, “When it comes to virtually every aspect of serving the needs of your members, AGC Georgia does a fantastic job. Your chapter has a well-earned reputation for always challenging the status quo, raising the bar and finding new ways to deliver quality programs and services that benefit the membership and industry.”

Redding adds, “I would be remiss not to acknowledge the visionary leadership provided by our officers and Board during the past few years. Their guidance contributed so much to our winning this 2014 award for association excellence. This honor is also a credit to our talented professional staff responsible for delivering Chapter services and who take such good care of members.”

This is the second time AGC Georgia has earned this honor. The first win was in 2007.

Laura Boalch, Technical College System of Georgia Q&A

By Anonymous
Q: Please share with us your background and how you came to work at TCSG. A: In the mid 1990’s, I began working in the Legislative Budget Office (LBO). In this role, we were charged with the development of the state budget for TCSG (then Department of Technical and Adult Education - DTAE) and various other agencies for the Georgia House of Representatives and the Georgia State Senate. At that time, admittedly, I knew very little about the Technical College System of Georgia as I had taken the more traditional route of attending the University of West Georgia to earn my BBA in Accounting. During my time at LBO, I had the opportunity to travel around the state visiting TCSG campuses. After talking with students, faculty, and staff at the colleges, I soon learned the purpose of what we do at TCSG and why we do it—to supply local business and industry with a skilled workforce. I was fascinated with the mission of the system and the passion of the faculty and staff. I quickly realized th

Workforce Development

By Anonymous
Over the past five years, the State of Georgia has focused efforts on economic development and has done a tremendous job of attracting industry to the state. Now, as we look to the future, questions arise about how we continue to maintain the same level of success. One of the challenges born from a strong economy is the continued lack of skilled workforce. We have heard this theme time and time again, specifically within the construction industry. But, as the Georgia economy booms, what is the state doing to connect its economic development efforts with its workforce development initiatives? And, more importantly, what can we do to change the perceptions and encourage today’s youth to explore careers in manufacturing, logistics, construction and other related trades? As has been the case for years now, businesses are having a hard time finding the right talent for the job. As the years pass, the strain to find talent becomes more real and businesses are left frustrated and unable to

Strong Foundations | Summer 2019

By Anonymous
A Message from Randall Redding While we continue to pray for the safe keeping of those that endured Hurricane Dorian, it’s clear that the summer heat hasn’t left us yet. I hope you will enjoy this latest issue of RKR’s Strong Foundations newsletter. Workforce development continues to be a top priority for the construction industry. The first article is about how it’s time for a shift in thinking in how to tackle the issue. As the state works to connect businesses in need with programs that train workforce, we need to look to change the way we think and encourage kids to consider opportunities outside of a traditional four-year college education. We also interview Laura Boalch, who is the Technical College System of Georgia’s Deputy Commissioner for Economic Development. In addition to discussing with Laura what the colleges provide in terms of training in economic development, she shares programs to impact the industry’s workforce development initiative. Thanks for your

Strong Foundations | Spring 2019

By Anonymous
A Message from Randall Redding With spring fully upon us, it’s wonderful to enjoy the weather and spend time with family. I am excited to share the latest issue of the  Strong Foundations newsletter. In the first article, we spoke to Eric McDonald, President & CEO of Greater Haralson Chamber of Commerce, and Daniel Jackson, President & CEO of Carroll County Chamber of Commerce. They are members of the Greater West Georgia Joint Development Authority (GWGJDA), which has grown to represent seven area counties that work together on multi-county projects to benefit West Georgia residents. The other article discusses the recent trend of building with modular and prefabricated construction materials. This method of off-site construction and then transported to the worksite offers many advantages, but it does have its setbacks. At RKR, we will continue to examine new ways to solve the complex issues facing our industry, always with our client’s goals in mind. Thanks for
