Savings
Discount Programs – Sometimes the savings realized from the discount programs alone can pay your membership dues several times over. We offer discounts on everything from cars to temporary power service, workers' comp insurance safety group, and a 401(k) plan. Through AGC of America, members receive discounts in four categories: general business solutions, industry specific discounts, travel and finally vehicles and fuel programs.
Information & Professional Development
Content is a key component to why members join the chapter and why they continue to participate year after year. AGC provides a rich offering of networking events and training programs for both professional and jobsite employees. Events and classes are provided at significant savings to current AGC Houston members and are posted online in our monthly calendar.
