CAGC Approves New Strategic Plan
The Carolinas AGC (CAGC) Board of Directors on August 9th approved a three-year strategic plan that concentrates on giving our members more value as we approach CAGC’s 100th anniversary in 2020. The strategic plan’s Vision Statement says simply: “Carolinas AGC will be recognized as the trusted voice for the construction industry in the Carolinas.”
Our new Mission Statement is: “Carolinas AGC is the association for the construction industry in the Carolinas, bringing value to our members through networking, government relations, increased profit, job leads, meetings with owners/designers, education and training, and community development.”
The plan is the result of months of work by our BOD, chaired by Marty McKee, that included seeking member input at CAGC meetings in North and South Carolina as well as surveys on what our members/prospective members want from CAGC. The BOD also recently held a retreat with key staff and a consultant, Jim Thompson of Capitol Hill Management Services, Inc., to draft the plan.
“This three-year strategic plan for Carolinas AGC will take us to our 100th CAGC Anniversary in 2020, helping us build upon what we do best as the trusted voice for construction in the Carolinas,” said Mr. McKee of King Asphalt, Inc.
The strategic plan is divided into four areas:
Workforce Development/Education & Training
Advocacy/Government Affairs
Meetings & Events
Membership
The plan also includes numerous tactics, including expanding CAGC’s Build Your Career plan to help tackle the workforce shortage at a time when there are thousands of jobs and good careers in the construction industry in North and South Carolina.
The plan was discussed last week by the BOD before it was unanimously approved. Dave Simpson, President & CEO of CAGC, noted that staff already had met on implementing the plan and that it will be revisited and updated by the staff regularly, with quarterly reports to the BOD on where we are.
A discussion also was held on the plan last week in a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the CAGC Foundation, which oversees workforce development and research programs. “Nothing is more important than maintaining the trust that the construction industry has in Carolinas AGC,” said BOT Chair Claudia Dodgen. “One of the best ways to accomplish this is through our many committees.”
