A Salute to The Associated General Contractors of America

Honor Award

June 4, 2008

6:00 - 10:30 pm

The National Building Museum recognized The Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) and its Chapters for their important contributions to our nation’s building heritage at an exclusive gala on June 4, 2008. The Honor Award was presented during a black-tie gala in the Museum’s historic Great Hall and was attended by members of the construction, banking, real estate, architecture, design, and engineering communities, as well as regional and national leaders in government and the arts. AGC and its Chapters are the 22nd recipient of the award. AGC President Douglas E. Barnhart (CEO/Chairman, Barnhart Inc., San Diego, California) and Stephen E. Sandherr, Chief Executive Officer of AGC, accepted the award. The program included a moving tribute from Norbert W, Young, president of McGraw-Hill Construction.

AGC and its Chapters are being honored for their work building America’s quality of life and promoting construction excellence, including safety, through training, advocacy, and the dissemination of best practices to contractors nationwide. AGC and its Chapters have been effective advocates for the construction industry at the local, state, and federal levels, promoting investment, training, and general advancement of the field. The Honor Award also recognizes AGC’s commitment to work force and career development and the educational resources the association provides for all career levels in the construction industry.

The National Building Museum’s Honor Award was instituted in 1986 to recognize individuals and organizations that have made important contributions to our nation’s built environment. Annually, recipients are selected from a wide variety of backgrounds to call attention to the many factors that determine the form and quality of our built world.
