AGC Public Awareness and Advocacy Fund Background: The United States is facing a number of significant issues that, if not address appropriately, will affect the ability of America to compete and prosper in the future. Among these issues are: infrastructure investment, the environment, and developing the construction profession's present and future workforce. Through the AGC PAC, involvement in coalitions, staff lobbying efforts, member activism, and the efforts of our Chapters, we have been actively involved in making the Congress, the Administration, and state and local officials aware of the construction industry's interest and concerns in addressing these important issues. Notwithstanding these efforts, we are far from strategic solutions that will sustain America in an increasingly competitive global marketplace. Thus far what has been lacking in many of our endeavors is the ability to generate sufficient public support to cause decision makers to do the right thing. While generating this support is expensive – without such support, we cannot expect a different result in the future. Get more information.
