AGC of East Tennessee stays “in the know” through a comprehensive array of programs and events to meet your networking needs. AGC of East Tennessee is built on strong relationships. To give our members the opportunity to meet one another and learn more about the industry as a whole, your chapter hosts an array of events and programs including:

  • Networking Meetings – AGC membership meetings provide all members with valuable opportunities to network and exchange information, attend seminars on timely subjects, and meet with fellow associates.
  • Networking Events – AGC provides the opportunity to meet members in a more casual and relaxing environment such as a spring and fall golf tournament, fishing tournament, summer social and much more.
  • Annual Convention and Conference – The AGC annual convention and conference provide members an opportunity to network, attend education seminars and relax with members at wonderful resorts. Everyone is encouraged to participate in golf and tennis tournaments, along with the dinners and receptions.

Program participants are provided the opportunity to develop strong leadership skills and techniques, to learn more about how to get involved in AGC, and to network and share ideas with other young industry professionals. Typical participants of the Construction Leadership Council are employees of AGC of East Tennessee member firms who are young in the construction industry working as project managers, account executives, estimators, office managers, sales representatives or anyone who maintains a professional/managerial role within the member firm.
