he Associated General Contractors, or AGC, of Alaska is a member-driven, member-supported organization. In other words, without input from members, it’s not effective. That input comes in many forms, but much of it happens around committee tables, where AGC leaders work together to tackle issues of import to members. AGC board members bring their own experience, as well as input gleaned from other industry leaders, to the table when discussing issues such as workers’ compensation or workforce development tools. AGC of Alaska would like to welcome the 2023/2024 executive board and all the members of its board of directors as we embark on a new year of service.

In 2006, the tug of the ocean and a young family led Midyett back to sailing for a couple years in the Caribbean, traveling as far south as Grenada. In 2008, he returned to the United States, sold the family boat, and moved to Alaska, ending the tropical chapter and starting an Alaska adventure. Midyett returned to work and started with CH2M Hill in its federal design-build group and, later, in program management roles on notable projects including Alaska Stand Alone Pipeline, AK LNG, the Anchorage Port Modernization, and the Point Thomson project.

Midyett is currently president of STG Pacific and Brice Builders for the Calista family of companies and is on the AGC board of directors.

In addition to the executive board, dozens of other Alaskans are on the full AGC of Alaska board of directors.

This list may grow during the December 13 executive board meeting. During this meeting, the president, with the advice and consent of the AGC Executive Board, may appoint to the board of directors up to six contractor members, three Associate members, and one non-voting CLC Representative. We’ve included the 2023/2024 list of board members. If you see a name you recognize, please thank them for their service.
