Leading The Construction​ Industry in San Diego​

For over 90 years, AGC San Diego and its members have advanced the construction industry in San Diego. The members of this association have built local landmarks, infrastructure, and buildings improving the community for years to come.

The AGC Board of Directors leads the association and its vision to promote a better industry for the professionals who build San Diego's future. The members are active in our committee-driven association to further AGC San Diego's vision and mission within the construction industry daily.

​Acknowledging industry leaders for their contributions to AGC and the construction industry is done annually at the Installation and Member Awards event. The leadership may honor industry leaders with one of two awards, the AGC SIR Award or the AGC President's Award, learn more about both awards and see their prestigious list of recipients.

SIR  Award

Picture
​
​The 
AGC SIR Award is the highest honor an individual can attain within the association and the construction industry. The name "SIR" is derived from an acronym taken from the AGC's creed: "Skill, Integrity, Responsibility."

The award trophy itself is a 15-inch, golden statuette modeled from Norman Rockwell's painting, "The Spirit of Construction."

​The 
SIR Award is bestowed on industry leaders, both locally and nationally, who have made and continue to make outstanding contributions to the AGC and to the construction industry.
