Federal Contractors Conference Attracts More Than 350 Attendees

This week over 300 construction contractors from across the country came to Washington D.C., to discuss the latest trends in federal contracting at AGC's Federal Contractors Conference and to advocate the industry's priorities to lawmakers.Members attended detailed presentations from agencies such as the General Services Administration and Army Corps of Engineers, and had the opportunity to ask questions and discuss various issues related to government projects. AGC member contractors visited Capitol Hill to discuss how the construction industry would be negatively affected by measures in the proposed "card check" legislation that require Washington-appointed officials to make key business decisions and outlined how investing in construction and infrastructure projects is one of the most effective ways to add jobs, improve the environment and increase America's ability to compete in the future global economy. The meetings proved highly productive and AGC of America will follow up with each office on our legislative priorities.
