AGC created this new, comprehensive awards category in 2008 to recognize the most innovative and collaborative training and development programs. AGC accepts both self- and third-party nominations for these awards, which are presented annually at the fall Training & Development Conference. AGC general and specialty contractor members in good standing, AGC chapters, and individuals employed by these organizations are eligible to apply.

2009 Awards winners

The 2009 Winners were announced by AGC Senior Vice President Ted Aadland during lunch October 28, 2009 at the HR and Training & Development Conference in Atlanta. In addition to a crystal award and public recognition of their training program, each winner was asked to participate in a "best practices" breakout session later in the conference. A copy of their presentations are linked to their award category.
