FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Columbia, S.C.—Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Mashburn Construction, Paul Mashburn has completed his year of service as Chairman of the Board for Carolinas Associated General Contractors (CAGC). Paul says, “I am so grateful for the opportunity to have served as the Carolinas AGC Chair and truly appreciate every single member and staff person that makes this organization so great.”

Accomplishments under his leadership during 2018 include:

• Work in state legislatures in Columbia and Raleigh, as well as in Washington DC with AGC of America and ARTBA, to seek badly needed infrastructure funding for transportation, building and utility needs.

• Helping tackle the workforce shortage issue by ramping up our CAGC Build Your Career program and continuing to increase the presence of CAGC ambassadors to help promote construction as great career in the middle schools, high schools, community colleges and with educators, parents, coaches, etc.

• Continuation of efforts to rebrand the construction image as a terrific career via ongoing efforts in NC with a joint venture with CAGC and the NC community college system and in SC by promoting construction via Be Pro, Be Proud and other efforts.

“When my father started Mashburn Construction in 1976, one of the first things he did was join the CAGC. I remember him telling me once that the CAGC had a major impact on him building a successful construction company. It’s not just about all the many things that the AGC does but it is about the bond that you build with the people that are going through the same things that you are in this business. One thing that I have found throughout my career is that people who are tied to this business are some of the most down-to-earth sensible, caring people on this planet," said CEO, Paul Mashburn.
