Strong and active committees

Our strong and active committee system has contributed to the long-term success of GBCA. The committees are designed to capitalize on the unique knowledge, expertise and capabilities that our individual members possess, which in turn helps to support and advance all member companies. In addition to GBCA committees, association members also serve on national AGC committees and represent contractor, subcontractor and service provider points of view on various industry subjects.

Our committees include:

The mission of the AIA/GBCA Joint Committee is to promote collaboration between designers and constructors and to share ideas, best practices, and trends in order to provide greater value and superior outcomes for our mutual clients.

The Construction Leadership Council (CLC) is a group of young construction professionals (primarily aged 40 and younger) who are committed to maintaining, improving and promoting the construction industry and our association through education, networking and service. The CLC will promote the mission of the GBCA while building the future foundation for our association, industry and leadership.
