Two Weeks Left to Submit a Presentation Proposal for the 2013 AGC Contractors Environmental Conference

The Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) will hold its second national "Contractors Environmental Conference: Compliant. Competitive. Cost-Effective" on June 13-14 2013, at the Renaissance Capital View in Arlington, Va., right outside of Washington, D.C. We invite you to submit a proposal for a compelling educational presentation on environmental issues geared towards construction professionals. What Are the Topics AGC Would Like to See Addressed at the Conference? Members of the AGC Environmental Forum Steering Committee have suggested a few potential conference topics in the Call for Presentations and Proposal Guidelines; though, we welcome proposals for presentations on the breadth of environmental topics that affect the construction industry – from green buildings, roads and other infrastructure, to compliance with environmental legal requirements. We also are looking for presentations on general best management practices, such as environmental ethics and leadership development for environmental professionals. Recognizing today’s challenging market, sessions should support the dual objectives of helping participants meet environmental requirements efficiently and hone their competitiveness in the marketplace. How Do I Submit a Proposal? Please read the Call for Presentations and Proposal Guidelines for complete information on how to submit your presentation proposal. Proposals are due by December 15, 2012. AGC has developed an easy-to-use online form to help with the submittal process. To complete and submit the online form, click here. What If I Have a Question? Interested presenters can contact Crystal Yates at yatesc@agc.org for questions on submitting presentation proposals. For questions related to the subjects to be covered at the conference and general conference information, please contact Melinda Tomaino at tomainom@agc.org.
