1. Call to Order. President Marty Garza called the meeting to order at 2:05 p.m.
2. Approval of September 28, 2018 Minutes. President Garza dispensed with the reading of the September 28, 2018 Meeting Report.
MOTION ADOPTED approving the September 28, 2018 meeting report.
3. Financial Review a. November 30, 2018 Financial Report.
Treasurer Harry Mashburn reviewed the unaudited financial results as of November 30, 2018. Total net assets for the Foundation as of November 30, 2018 were $10.25 million as compared to $10.66 million as of December 31, 2017. Our total investments were $9.86 million which represents a decrease of $304,000 since December 31, 2017. For the eleven months ended November 30, 2018, the Foundation had net operating expenses over income of $139,882. After taking into account investment gains and losses, the net loss was $409,051. We are forecasting to end the year with an excess of expenses over income of approximately $137,000. Treasurer Mashburn reviewed the financial results in detail and responded to questions from the Board. MOTION ADOPTED approving the November 30, 2018 financial report.
b. Investment Committee Meeting. Monique invited the Board to participate in the Investment Committee meeting on Monday, January 14th at 2:00 p.m. Call-in information will be provided to the Board.
c. Administration Fees. Monique Ford proposed reducing the administrative fee to 1% due to more success in raising unrestricted funds. Discussion ensued. The board decided to leave the fee at 2% to continue to fund scholarships and Foundation
operations for 2018. We will place this item on the April board meeting agenda for follow-up discussion.
4. Old Business.
a. 2019 Gala. Melinda Patrician reminded the Board about the CCC gala event at the 100th Annual Convention in Denver, CO. Sponsorships are currently at $70,000 for the event and we continue to try to increase the number of sponsorships for this event. Melinda encouraged the Board members to review the list of sponsors from last year and assist her in getting these sponsors to sign up for 2019. She is working to build more of the table sponsorships and is working with Len Toenjes to notify chapters that there is a special rate for them to sponsor a table at the gala. The gala will be held on April 2, 2019 at The Seawell Ballroom. Attire is black tie optional.
b. Report of OE Award Task Force. Fran Madigan presented the board with a
recommendation from the Outstanding Educator committee that the new award for faculty in two-year programs be delayed for two years pending the resolution of several issues that have been raised by the committee. It was suggested that staff would be able to resolve most of the issues of concern in the next two years. Some of the concerns included: developing criteria for the award, how to fund the award and at what level, and the target audience for marketing the award. The idea for this award was the result of our strategic planning meetings. The board agreed to delay this until the concerns can be addressed.
c. Strategic Planning. Marty Garza reported to the Board that we have made a lot of progress on achieving our goals, but we need to continue to move the plan forward. Marty will be distributing to each of the teams the status of their goals so that we can provide a more detailed report at the April board meeting on the status of the goals.
5. Staff Report. Foundation Director, Melinda Patrician, provided the Board with an update of the activities that will be conducted during the Convention that the Board should be aware of and should plan to attend. A detailed schedule of events is included on the board site for the boards use. She reminded the Board that the next Board meeting is on Monday, April 1, 2019. She also reminded the board members to complete and return their conflict of interest forms to her. President Garza requested that the conflict of interest forms be mailed to the board separately for completion. December is always a really hectic month and she thanked the board for all their efforts in reviewing applications, etc during this time of year.
6. Reports of AGC Foundation Committees a. Case Studies. John Schaufelberger reported on the status of the industry case studies.
To date, seven case studies have been published and are available on the AGC bookstore. There are currently four case studies under development and should be published in 2019. There are three other case studies that are also currently under development with the hopes of being released in 2020. The 2019 budget has funding for three case studies. Melinda is trying to raise enough funds to pay for the Safety Management case study for North Carolina University. If she is able to raise the $9,000 she would like approval to fund this case study in 2019.
MOTION ADOPTED to approve funding the safety management case study pending raising the funds to pay for the case study. The task force met in September and discussed marketing efforts to solicit feedback from the users of the case studies. A survey is sent to anyone that downloads a case study to solicit their feedback on the case studies. Marty thanked John Schaufelberger for his commitment to the AGC Education & Research Foundation and his commitment to the industry.
b. Bowen Industry Residency Task Force. Melinda Patrician reported that four
applications were received for the Summer 2019 internship program. The task force is recommending approval of the following four applicants:
i. Ibukun G Awolusi, UT San Antonio-Bartlett Cocke ii. John Killingsworth and Mitchell Ogden, Colorado State University -Hensel
Phelps; UW Stout-Ryan iii. Pardis Pishdad-Bozorgi, Georgia Tech-Beam iv. Endong Wang, Univ Tenn, Chattanooga-T.U. Parks
MOTION ADOPTED to approve all four applicants for the 2019 Faculty Internship Program for a total cost of $30,355 and to approve other qualified candidates for the Summer of 2019 up to the $40,000 budget. The task force decided to re-open the application process for 2019, extending the deadline to February 15, 2019 to try and obtain at least one more applicant.
c. Development Committee. Scott Holloway reported on activities of the Development Committee and their successes in 2018. He notified the Board that the Board of Certified Safety Professionals about renewing their commitment to the four scholarships annually for $10,000. Scott thanked Darryl Kysar, Procore, for their involvement and commitment to the AGC Education & Research Foundation. He reminded the Board to consider inviting Melinda to their local area for donor/chapter visits to meet with prospective donors. Len Toenjes reminded the Board to invite their chapters to sponsor a table at the gala.
d. Outstanding Educator Committee. Refer to the Scholarship Review Minutes from January 10, 2019.
e. Allhands Essay Committee. Refer to the Scholarship Review Minutes from January 10,
2019.
f. Training, Education & Development Department. Bob Bowen reported on the activities of the TED Forum. The forum is moving forward slowly but now that there is a full-time staff in that position, Jo-Anne Torres, things should begin to improve.
7. New Business. a. Discussion of Scholarship Criteria. Refer to the Scholarship Review Minutes from
January 10, 2019. Additionally, the taskforce is reviewing the criteria to determine if it is still worthwhile to continue the policy of requesting recommendations from employers and professors. The taskforce includes: Richard Burt, Len Toenjes, Eric Wilson and Caroline Clevenger. They will meet during the convention on these issues.
b. Peaceful Transfer of Power. Marty thanked the Board for allowing him to serve as the President of the Foundation for the past two years and on the board for the past eight. Thanks to Tommy Burleson and Paul Diederich for approaching him in 2010 to serve on the board. He is grateful for the opportunity to work with such great individuals. The work of the foundation is so important and is looking forward to continuing to work with the board in the future. Eric Wilson thanked Marty for his leadership and efforts over the past two years. The foundation is heading in a great direction and all share Marty’s thoughts on the importance of the Foundation’s work. The committee assignment sheet has been sent to the Board. Dave Hanson has agreed to Chair the Development Committee this coming year. Please let Eric or Melinda know if you have any questions about the committee assignment list.
c. New England Institute of Technology. Historically, the Foundation has been paying a portion of the student’s exam fees for the lean certification, as part of a course taught by Ashley Phelps on lean construction, which cost the Foundation about $1,700 in prior years. Ashley Phelps has requested the Foundation’s support again in 2019 to help fund the exam fees for students who are taking the class.
MOTION ADOPTED to approve paying for the 2019 exam fees for students who take the lean certification exam.
8. Adjourn. There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 3:10 p.m.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS UPDATE APRIL 2019
Hello, all— This newsletter will also serve as our staff report for the April 1, 2019 meeting in Denver.
Please note one important change to our meeting schedule: the luncheon will now start at 12:30 p.m.
in 608 Convention Center to give several board members time to attend the AGCA Board of Directors
and Finance Committee lunch. Our board meeting will follow in rooms 610-612.
Included in this newsletter and on your agenda is a list of events sponsored by the Foundation or at
which we have a presence of some kind. There is also a full convention agenda included with coding
(yellow) for foundation events and (green) for events at which we have some presence. Please note
that there will be numerous students at events. We work with our donors and sponsors to include as
many student recipients of awards and scholarships as possible to bring visibility to the foundation’s
programs. As we do not actually have a budget to support the travel and lodging for most of these
students, we ask sponsors to help with that.
Notably, the Board of Certified Safety Professionals has supported the travel and lodging of the
organization’s sponsored safety scholarship recipients. Those students will be sitting at the BCSP table
at the safety luncheon. If you have an opportunity to thank Treasa Turnbeaugh for her support, that
would be wonderful. There is also one Build America scholarship winner who will be seated at the
foundation table and one Willis Towers Watson Diversity Scholarship winner who will be at the WTW
table at the general session and Diversity Awards on Tuesday. We were unable to find support to bring
students out for this, but Courtney identified two students who would be at the convention with their
student chapters, so they are being recognized at these events.
You will also see many of our scholarship recipients at the donor reception on Wednesday night,
helping with our fundraising effort. We believe it is very important for our donors and potential
donors to meet and interact with these students to get a more personal impression of how very talented
they are. They are the reason our programs are supported by donors and this is our one opportunity to
put them in front of supporters. Please help with that if you can introduce any of the students to AGC
members.
Melinda
Program Updates:
Thanks to everyone’s hard work, 153 scholarships have been awarded for 2019 totaling
$528,750. A list of scholarship recipients is attached and is also available at the Foundation’s
table and on our web page at agcfoundation.org. As usual, AGC Board and committee members
reviewed 223 applications in December, each reviewing approximately 35 applications. Finalists
were interviewed by AGC contractors. The Foundation is so grateful for their assistance each
year and happy to say that many lasting relationships are made during this process. Please be
sure to thank this dedicated group if you run into any of them at the convention.
We welcome this year’s Outstanding Educator, Dr. Charles Cook, as our guest at the 100th
annual AGC convention. As you might know, Charlie is an active AGC member and friend to
many in the industry. He will join us at our luncheon preceding our board meeting at 12:30 p.m.
on Monday, April 1 and will receive his award at 11 a.m. on April 2 at the Student Chapter
Annual Meeting. Receiving this year’s Allhands Essay Competition first place award is Joseph
Weldon Franklin III (East Carolina University) for his essay, "Attracting and Retaining Top
Employees by Placing Proper Value on Their Contribution to the Company.” Joseph and his
wife, Tiffany, are our guests at the convention. Unfortunately, Joseph’s faculty advisor, Bryan
Wheeler, could not join us at the convention. He has been a staunch supporter of this essay
competition for many years, including it as part of his spring class requirements. Caleb Bardin
of Texas A&M placed second and Julia Allen of Auburn, who is also joining us at our luncheon,
placed third.
Applications for the Workforce Development Scholarship for craft and technical students
opened on March 1 and will run until June 1. We have made great strides in getting the word out
to students but are committed to increasing awareness of the award, which as you know is given
to many students who are supporting a family and obtaining certification and associate degrees
while working. Getting the word out to chapter members is the key to increasing awareness for
future employees. We will focus on the workforce scholarship in our video in the convention
opening session and at the Gala. Fun fact: Cedric Hickman, who will speak at the Gala, is the
son-in-law of former board member Craig Capano. A 2016 recipient, Cedric was chosen by
Courtney as a student who would represent the scholarship well and we later realized that he was
Craig’s son-in-law!

RE: Update on CCC Gala
Below is a list of the sponsors for “Under the Stars,” this year’s Gala hosted by the CCC. We are
expecting approximately 450 attendees. We are about $12,500 over last year’s sponsorship revenue.
We are selling tickets at the convention until 2 p.m. on April 2.
The costs for this event will be equivalent to last year. With ticket sales, CCC contribution for members
and their guests, and sponsorships, we will be netting between $75,000 and $100,000 going into the
event on Tuesday. The key revenue will be raised during our brief fundraising period in which we will
ask for contributions from the floor. We will once again have Mark Walberg, the professional master of
ceremonies we engaged last year, and the mobile app for both the auction and the Gala.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Melinda D. Patrician
AGC Education & Research Foundation Conflict of Interest Policy This Conflict of Interest Policy of AGC Education & Research Foundation (the “Organization”): (1) defines conflicts of interest; (2) identifies classes of individuals within the Organization covered by this policy; (3) facilitates disclosure of information that may help identify conflicts of interest; and (4) specifies procedures to be followed in managing conflicts of interest.
1. Definition of conflicts of interest. A conflict of interest arises when a person in a position of authority over the Organization may benefit financially from a decision he or she could make in that capacity, including indirect benefits such as to family members or businesses with which the person is closely associated. This policy is focused upon material financial interest of, or benefit to, such persons.
2. Individuals covered. Persons covered by this policy are the Organization’s officers and directors.
3. Facilitation of disclosure. Persons covered by this policy will annually disclose or update to the President of the Board of Directors on a form provided by the Organization their interests that could give rise to conflicts of interest, such as a list of family members, substantial business or investment holdings, and other transactions or affiliations with businesses and other organizations or those of family members.
4. Procedures to manage conflicts. For each interest disclosed to the President of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors will determine whether to: (a) take no action; (b) assure full disclosure to the Board of Directors and other decision-making bodies of such interest; (c) ask the person to recuse himself or herself from voting on related decisions by decision-making bodies within the Organization; or (d) ask the person to resign from his or her position in the Organization or, if the person refuses to resign, become subject to possible removal in accordance with the Organization’s removal procedures. The Organization’s Secretary will monitor proposed or ongoing transactions for conflicts of interest and disclose them to the President or the Board of Directors in order to deal with potential or actual conflicts, whether discovered before or after the transaction has occurred. The Secretary shall maintain and annually update a file of disclosure statements signed by the individuals subject to this Policy.
If the conflict of interest arises in connection with the activities of any deliberative body (e.g., the Board of Directors), a notation must be made in the minutes of any meeting at which deliberation, consideration or vote on the transaction or matter at issue is undertaken indicating that the individual with a conflict or potential conflict of interest was excused from the meeting during the time that voting on the transaction or matter was undertaken, and did not vote on the transaction or matter. In addition, in all cases in which the Board of Directors considers a transaction or matter in which an officer or director of the Organization has a perceived or actual conflict of interest, the Board of Directors shall obtain and rely upon appropriate data as to comparability (e.g., compensation levels paid by similarly situated organizations; or quotes or bids from at least three vendors who perform the same or similar services as those being proposed by the officer or director or the organization in which such individual has an interest). The Board of Directors shall adequately document the basis for its determination (e.g., evaluation of the individual whose compensation is being determined and the basis for determining that the individual's compensation was reasonably based on comparability data; or evaluation of the services being proposed and documentation that the choice of a particular vendor was made based on objective factors).
AGC Education & Research Foundation, Inc. 2019 Conflict of Interest Policy Acknowledgement and Disclosure Form I have read the AGC Education & Research Foundation Conflict of Interest Policy and agree to comply fully with its terms and conditions at all times during my service as an officer or director. If at any time following the submission of this form I become aware of any actual, perceived or potential conflicts of interest, or if the information provided below becomes inaccurate or incomplete, I will promptly notify the organization in writing. Disclosure of Actual, Perceived or Potential Conflicts of Interest:
1. Do you have a family relationship or a business relationship with any other officer, director, trustee, or key employee of AGC Education & Research Foundation (see definitions on back)? a. Yes b. No
2. Do you have a direct business relationship with AGC Education & Research Foundation other
than as a director (see definition on back)? a. Yes b. No
3. Do you or your family members own more than 35% in another entity (individually or
collectively with another AGC Education & Research Foundation Board Member or employee) that has a business relationship with AGC Education & Research Foundation or the Associated General Contractors of America, Inc.? a. Yes b. No
4. Do you have a family member who has a direct business relationship with AGC Education &
Research Foundation? a. Yes b. No
5. Do you serve as an officer, director, trustee, key employee, partner, or member of an entity (or

Board Member Signature: _______________________________________________ Board Member Printed Name: ____________________________________________ Date: ________________________________________________________________
Definitions Business relationship with another officer, director, trustee, or key employee: Business relationships between two persons include the following:
1. One person is employed by the other in a sole proprietorship or by an organization with which the other is associated as a trustee, director, officer, key employee or greater-than-35% owner.
2. One person is transacting business with the other (other than in the ordinary course of either party’s business on the same terms as are generally offered to the public), directly or indirectly, in one or more contracts of sale, lease, license, loan, performance of services, or other transaction involving, transfers of cash or property valued in excess of $10,000 in the aggregate during the organization’s tax year. Indirect transactions are transactions with an organization with which the one person is associated as a trustee, director, officer, key employee, or greater than 35% owner.
3. The two persons are each a director, trustee, officer or greater than 10% owner in the same business or investment entity. Ownership is measured by stock ownership (either voting power or value) of a corporation, profits or capital interest in a partnership or limited liability company, membership interest in a nonprofit organization, or beneficial interest in a trust. Ownership includes indirect ownership (e.g. ownership in an entity that has ownership in the entity in question); there may be ownership through multiple tiers of entities.
Family member, family relationship: Unless specified otherwise, the family of an individual includes only his or her spouse, ancestors, brothers and sisters (whether whole or half blood), children (whether natural or adopted), grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and spouses of brothers, sisters, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Direct business relationships with AGC Education & Research Foundation and/or AGC of America: A business transaction occurred between AGC Education & Research Foundation and/or AGC of America and another party, which included contracts of sale, lease, license, loan, performance of services whether initiated during the organization’s tax year or ongoing from a prior year. Business transactions also include joint ventures, whether new or ongoing, in which either the profits or capital interest of the organization and of the interested person each exceeds 10%. In general, a business transaction is a reportable business relationship if: 1) all payments during the year between the organization and the interested person exceeded $100,000; 2) all payments during the year from a single transaction between such parties exceeded the greater of $10,000 or 1% of the filing organization’s total revenues; or 3) compensation payments by the organization paid to a family member of certain persons exceeded $10,000.

Announcing the 37th Annual
2020 James L. Allhands Essay Competition Deadline for Submission: November 15, 2019
The James L. Allhands Essay Competition was established by the late James L. Allhands, one of the founding members of AGC and a prolific writer
of construction related works. The award recognizes a student essay on a specific topic that is deemed to be beneficial to the advancement of
technological, educational, or vocational expertise in the construction industry.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE
Any full-time student who has attained a four-year or five-year
senior-level standing in a four-year ABET or ACCE-accredited (or
candidate status) university construction or construction-related
engineering program is eligible to compete for the Allhands Award.
Class status and full-time registration of the student must be verified
in a letter from the faculty sponsor of the student's major department.
Each essay may have only one author, and each author may submit
only one essay.
ESSAY FORMAT REQUIREMENTS
• The essay must be written using Microsoft Word
• Times New Roman font; 12 point; double spaced
• Margins - top and bottom - 1”; Sides - 1.25”
• Pages numbered at center bottom
The essay MUST NOT exceed ten (10) pages including charts,
graphics and the bibliography page. The 10-page limit does not
include the required cover title page and a one-page abstract. The
abstract MUST NOT exceed 100 words following the same page
format.
TARGET AUDIENCE
The subject relating to construction and/or general contracting will be
general management-oriented rather than technical in nature, and will
change for each Allhands Award competition.
2020 ALLHANDS ESSAY COMPETITION TOPIC
The topic for the 2020 Allhands Essay Competition is “Identifying
and Positively Addressing Real and Perceived Barriers to Inclusion
in Construction."
The construction industry continues to perform well and all
indications are that the construction economy will continue to expand
in 2020. However, recruiting employees into the construction
industry continues to be a concern among the majority of
construction companies. The last three AGC’s Construction Hiring
and Business Outlook Reports, have reported that the majority of
construction companies have found it hard to find, hire and retain
both craft and professional employees.
It is important, therefore, for the construction industry to be inclusive
to all potential employees irrespective of race, gender, disability or
sexual orientation. Yet there are many real or perceived barriers to
inclusion in construction. As a future construction leader, you will be
faced with the challenge of recruiting employees. In responding to
this challenge, how would you address some of the issues relating to
inclusion within the construction industry? We are asking you to give
your perspective on this highly important construction industry issue.
In your essay, please address, as a minimum, the following
discussion points related to the topic using research and examples
from your own experience to support your position:
• Identify and describe the real and perceived barriers to
inclusion in construction?
• What is your own perspective on how inclusive the
construction industry is?
• How is the construction industry addressing this issue?
• What are your suggestions for addressing some of the real
and perceived barriers to inclusion?
• Discuss the role that an organization such as the AGC
might play in resolving some of the issues related to this
topic?
SUBMISSION Students MUST email: Student checklist; 100-word abstract; essay; and faculty sponsor letter and checklist to Foundation Director Melinda Patrician at [email protected]. Students will receive email notification of receipt. FACULTY SPONSOR REQUIREMENTS The faculty sponsor MUST confirm by a signed letter on university stationary the student’s full time and class status. A signed checklist is also required to verify that the essay was proofed for grammar and technical errors, is ready for publication, and has not been plagiarized. The letter and checklist will be part of the student’s submission in an Adobe pdf file. No more than five (5) submittals from each college or university will be accepted. AWARDS For qualified entries, prizes will be awarded as follows: • FIRST PRIZE, STUDENT: $1,000 and trip to the 2020 AGC
Annual Convention. Prize includes round-trip airfare, plus meals and lodging for five days.
• FIRST PRIZE, FACULTY: $500 and a trip for the faculty sponsor to the 2020 AGC Annual Convention. Prize includes round-trip airfare, plus meals and lodging for five days.
• SECOND PRIZE, STUDENT: $500 • THIRD PRIZE, STUDENT: $300 Note: No cash substitutions will be provided if the first prize winning student or his/her faculty sponsor choose not to participate in the convention trips. Allhands Essay winners will be notified by e-mail in Jan/Feb 2020. Public announcement will be made at the AGC Annual Convention in March 2020 by the AGC Foundation President. In the event an essay is not deemed satisfactory, or does not comply with the essay requirements, the AGC Foundation Board may, at its sole discretion, find the essay unacceptable or limit the number of winners.

A task force meeting was conducted on March 18, 2019 to discuss the status of case study development,
soliciting feedback from case study users, and marketing the case studies. Download statistics were
reviewed which indicated that the earlier case studies each had between 80 and 100 downloads while the
more recent case studies each had between 30 and 50 downloads. The task force developed questions to
be used in a survey of case study users that is to be distributed in May. The task force decided not to
solicit additional case study proposals until the survey data has been collected and analyzed.

April 1, 2019 TO: AGCF BOARD OF DIRECTORS FROM: DAVID HANSON, DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE CHAIR RE: BOARD REPORT
So far in 2019 we are pleased to report that Smith, Currie, Hancock has pledged to increase their endowment for their graduate scholarship to $75,000, essentially a doubling of the endowment. Additionally, Phil Beck and his partners have agreed to help with outreach to law firms and service providers in partnership with the Foundation. Another collaboration that will happen this year is with the insurance industry. Bill McIntyre, who as of this writing was waiting for his board to decide if they would fund the 4th of our approved case studies for 2019. The study is one of two on safety, an area the task force has built into its RFP since the idea was floated by Bill in 2017. McIntyre is working with Melinda to brainstorm an approach at the IRMI conference in the fall to reach a group of high-level risk management folks. Another fundraising event in the fall is planned in Phoenix in conjunction with Procore’s Groundbreak conference. In addition to contributing to the foundation each year that underwrites our scholarship application software and providing design for our case studies, Procore is one of the two Platinum ($20,000) sponsors for the Gala, designed this year’s annual report, and produced the video you will see at the convention opening session and the Gala. Melinda plans to meet with prospective donors in Seattle in conjunction with the IRMI conference and in Phoenix with Groundbreak but is also anxious to put together the rest of the travel calendar for the late spring and summer months.
Future Direction for Development Committee Activity After Discussion w/ Staff and the President, the following preliminary “Statement of Work” for the Development committee has been created and is presented to the Board for further discussion:
1. The Board will be designated as the responsible party for Fundraising with each member responsible for carrying out the fundraising activities as their position in the industry and their relationships permits.
2. The Development Committee will be reconstituted as a Steering Committee for Development Activities and work with the Executive Committee on tactics for maximizing staff and board resources to carry out the Strategic Direction of the organization for Development Programs and fundraising campaigns.
3. The basis for the fundraising activities of the organization will be based on a workplan developed based on fundraising best practices and the following resources:
a. The “AGC ERF Development Plan” dated 2016 developed by Staff. b. The Applicable portions of the current Strategic Planning Activities (primarily from the
“Broadening Industry Participation and Support” work group) that have been prioritized for near term action.
c. Ideas included in the document “Creating an Endowment to Support the AGC ERF” dated May 2014.
d. Other documents including the Minutes of Previous Board Meetings, actual workplans for individual fundraising activities, the previous fundraising appeals, etc.
4. The creation of the workplan will be the first task of the reconstituted committee. The Workplan is meant to be a succinct columnar sheet – ideally being no more than two or three pages with the following categories.
a. Define the role of the Development Committee b. Determine the areas of greatest concern for “needs” to support current programs and
develop targets for fund raising for each program to make the programs self-sustaining on the long term.
c. Review Various streams of current Contributions / Revenue and assign create Plans / Responsibilities assigning Streams to Programs and assure we are maintaining, growing, and maximizing effectiveness of stream.
d. Determine other potential revenue streams or methodology for mining AGC Members and Affiliated Organizations.
e. Other items or activities that can enhance contributions to the AGC ERF. 5. Following the creation of a first Work Plan, follow thru for the execution of same – measuring
results and reporting to the Board thru a “Development Scorecard” on a regular (no less than quarterly) basis.
6. Review regularly, revise as necessary, and continuously improve approaches and (hopefully) results.
