Abridged Mission and Vision Statement for the Nebraska Building Chapter:
The mission statement of the AGC-NE Building Chapter is to provide a full range of services satisfying the needs and concerns of its members with the goal that the building construction industry flourishes at the local, state and national level. The vision of the Chapter is to continue to evolve to meet the needs and provide the services members need to stay profitable and viable in the state.
Committee Goal/Objective:
To create a channel of membership involvement to provide support for the AGC Student Chapters chartered by the Building Chapter. More specifically, the committee will provide guidance and support to strengthen our relationship with the post-secondary colleges of construction with fund-raising efforts to support scholarships, fund programs, and fund equipment. Also the committee will work to increase visibility and support by developing internships, job opportunities, and mentoring activities with the intent of developing entry level professionals for the commercial construction industry.
Membership:
The committee chair will be appointed by the President of the Chapter Board of Directors. The committee chair will be reappointed on an annual basis if all parties are in agreement.
The membership of the committee will be on a voluntary basis, but ideally should provide equal representation, by regions, for all members across the state. The Executive Director will be a standing member of the committee.
Functions, Time line and Responsibilities:
1. The committee will meet, starting in August, to plan for the main fund raising event to be held at Fall Conference in October. Also, the committee will provide for other fund raising activities, as needed, throughout the year. This activity will involve about five meetings between August and November. Typically, there will be one in-person meeting in Lincoln and all others will be by telephone conference call.
2. Assist in the development and planning of Student Chapter seminars and activities.
3. Assist in the decision making process of awarding Education Fund dollars to student chapters.
4. Provide mentoring and support where needed to the Student Chapters. |
