All AGC chapters and general and specialty contractor members are encouraged to get their applications together for the new Education Excellence Awards program before the May 1 deadline. AGC has waived the requirement that the application be submitted online.

Please contact Liz Elvin at elvinl@agc.org if you have questions. Please note: All applications and supporting material must be received by AGC by 5 p.m. EST on May 1, 2009. EEAs are designed to recognize the most innovative and collaborative training and development programs sponsored by AGC chapters and contractor members. Awards will be given out in the following categories:      • Craft (one to a member and one to a chapter)      • Supervisory (one to a member and one to a chapter)      • Project & Executive Management (one to a member and one to a chapter) One award will be given to the outstanding Instructor of the Year. A Grand Award will be presented to a firm or chapter that demonstrates learning and performance as a top concern, reaching the highest level of excellence for construction training and development programs at all levels of the organization. The first awards will be presented at the joint HR Professionals and Training & Development Conferences, to be held Oct. 28-29 in Atlanta, Georgia. Don’t miss out on this exciting new program.
