ore than twenty Associated General Contractors, or AGC, of Alaska members and staff made their voices heard in Juneau during the Legislative Fly-In, held February 25 and 26. It’s an annual event that helps AGC educate legislators about the importance of the construction industry to Alaska and discuss issues of concern with state staff and department heads. AGC of Alaska joined with the Alaska Miners Association and Alaska Trucking Association to host a reception at the Baranof Hotel February 25 that was well-attended by members of the hosting organizations and legislators.

Through the two-day fly-in, members met with nearly thirty state legislators and commissioners. Department of Labor Commissioner Cathy Muñoz spoke with AGC members at a luncheon, updating them on industry-related topics her department was working on. AGC members also participated in a four-hour meeting with Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities staff, along with follow-up meetings with department officials throughout the week.
