Special Sessions for Chapter staff

October 19–20, 2010

The AGC Western Chapters Training Directors group (WCTD) is co–locating its annual conference with the AGC of America Training & Development Conference and opening it to all AGC Chapter* staff who are involved with training and education.

This Chapter–staff–only* workshop – free to those who attend the T&D Conference – will start with lunch on Tuesday, Oct.19, and run through Wednesday morning, Oct. 20, at the Doubletree Paradise Valley Resort, the same hotel as the T&D Conference. You must register for the “Chapters–only” session when registering for the T&D Conference in order to attend this event. There is no extra charge.

Come network with your AGC Chapter peers and exchange ideas, problems and solutions in the areas of recruiting, education, and enhancing work performance.

* “Chapter staff” includes the staff of education foundations supported by AGC Chapters.

Cracker Barrel session: There would be several roundtables with one Chapter staff expert at each one who can talk about a particular topic, such as open shop training, construction career academies, etc. Each expert does a 10– to 15–minute presentation leaving 5 to 10 minutes for questions. Then there’s a 10–minute break for refreshments. Then participants move to another table of interest where the presentation would be repeated for the new audience. Each participant would have the ability to visit three different tables during the event.
