Why Join AGC?
Associated General Contractors of Alaska Best of Alaska Business 2022 banner

“As a rural based contractor, I was hesitant to join AGC. I thought “ we were too small, too far out in rural Alaska, and the cost would be too prohibitive for AGC to have an impact. I was wrong on all accounts! AGC of Alaska benefits all Alaskan companies’ union or non-union, rural or urban based, small or large. Whether it’s taking advantage of the many classes that are offered, enrolling in the 401K program, or networking, AGC’s benefits are far and wide.”

– Toby Drake, President Drake Construction
