The resolution commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Associated General Contractors of Texas Highway, Heavy, Utilities, and Industrial Branch, which was founded on December 11, 1924. This trade group, established by a coalition of Texas contractors, has played a crucial role in advocating for general contractors and addressing the state's public infrastructure needs. With over 700 affiliated companies responsible for more than 90 percent of highway construction in Texas, the organization has significantly contributed to various engineering projects, including water and sewer systems. Under the leadership of CEO Jennifer Woodard, the group has promoted workplace safety and the core values of skill, integrity, and responsibility within the industry.
The Texas House of Representatives expresses its honor and best wishes to the Associated General Contractors of Texas as they celebrate a century of excellence. The resolution acknowledges the organization's enduring impact on the state's infrastructure and economic vitality, recognizing its status as one of the longest-standing trade groups in Texas. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared as a token of high regard from the Texas House of Representatives.
