Take Time to Participate In the
AGC of America Legislative Survey
You have an opportunity to help OCA and AGC of America gauge the reach of
our collective networks and enable us to effectively plan for future public
policy discussions. By understanding our network of relationships with
elected officials, we can build advocacy programs that help advance our
positions on any number of issues that directly impact the construction
industry.
As an employee, voter, volunteer, and contributor to the communities where
you live and work, your voice and opinion is extremely influential. Through
this brief survey you can provide information on the issues that are
important to you, the stakeholders within your network, and the level of
advocacy you would be willing to undertake on the association's behalf.
The survey will take very little of your time, but your participation will
make a tremendous difference. There is no right or wrong answer to any of
the questions, we simply ask for your honest feedback. Some questions will
ask if you personally know certain elected officials representing you at
the state or federal level. Please do not feel like you are expected to, as
most people will not.
We greatly appreciate your time and participation. You can begin your
survey by following the link below.

Scholarship Notices
Several of our members have suggested that OCA create a handout with
information about our Hall of Fame and Chapter scholarships. These handouts
should go to HR departments and those who would need them when attending
job fairs. If your company attends trade shows and would like to have this
document, please send the name of the appropriate person, title, and e-mail
address to Emily Pickens at [email protected].
