It works with state agencies on issues of concern to AGC members. And, it raises money to assist legislators and candidates for statewide office who support contractors and issues affecting the commercial building industry.  Advocacy

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT & SCHOLARSHIPS

AGC of Ohio has an extensive scholarship program where the association, divisions and members sponsor scholarships under the auspices of the AGC of Ohio Education Foundation. Twenty scholarships are offered, and the Foundation recommends students for the Mosser Construction, Inc. Scholarships.

  
AGC of Ohio and its members participate in the Construction Futures Campaign, which was created by AGC of America to promote construction as a career and improve the quality of future contractors. The association and its members donate Build Up! toolkits to 4th and 5th graders to educate them about the construction industry and the careers available in it.  

AWARDS PROGRAMS

Build Ohio has grown to be Ohio's most recognizable building awards program. Companies enter completed projects in one of seven categories. Winning projects receive the prestigious bronze and green marble Build Ohio statue.

Two safety awards programs are held annually to recognize contractors' safety efforts. The Construction Safety Excellence Awards recognizes contractors for their overall safety program; and the National AGC Safety Awards program awards Certificates of Commendation for low incidence rates.  In 2006, AGC of Ohio awarded its first Pinnacle Award for Lifetime Achievement.

SAFETY

The AGC of Ohio Safety Committee provides advocacy on safety-related issues, networking opportunities and educational programs for construction safety professionals.  AGC divisions across the state utilize their combined buying power to purchase safety-related items in bulk. As a result, AGC members can purchase OSHA code books, What a Supervisor Needs to Know safety manuals, and Construction Safety & Health Resource Guides at discounted rates.
