AGC of America has established several award programs to recognize the achievements of its local chapters. This year's awards will be presented at AGC's Annual Convention in San Diego, California, March 4-7, 2009.

Chapter of the Year Awards Programs

AGC annually recognizes chapters with four awards: Small Chapter of the Year, Large Chapter of the Year, James E. Cashman Trophy, J. Howard Mock Award.

Small Chapter of the Year and Large Chapter of the Year

Chapter of the Year has two categories of eligibility based on the annual budget of the Chapter. The Small Chapter of the Year Award will be given to one chapter with a budget below $750,000, and the Large Chapter of the Year Award will be given to one chapter with a budget over $750,000. The winning chapter receives a beautiful polished pewter trophy on a wooden base with a cast plaque. Both the Chapter President and Executive receive a large framed certificate acknowledging their contributions.

James E. Cashman Trophy

The James E. Cashman Trophy is for the most effective membership growth program. This beautiful trophy has been presented to deserving chapters for more than a half century.

J. Howard Mock Award

All chapters compete for this award for the best overall net growth in membership.

Chapter Diversity Award

The AGC of America Diversity Award Program has been developed to reward AGC chapters that develop and promote diversity programs. The goal of the awards is to communicate that AGC chapters support and are promoting the development of small, minority and women-owned businesses, and that AGC seeks to increase their participation in the industry and the association. Monetary awards are designed to assist chapters in developing diversity programs to promote diversity in the construction industry, and to assist diverse companies in expanding their business.

The QUOIN AGC Chapter won the 2007 award for Best Overall Program and a Special Recognition for Achievement in the Promotion of Diversity went to San Diego AGC Chapter. The deadline for submissions for the 2008 Diversity Award is December 8, 2008. Award winners will be recognized at the 2009 Annual Convention in San Diego, California.
