This is the second win for AGCAR. With consecutive wins in 2023 and 2024, Arkansas sets a historic 106-year-old record by being the first and only state to win the National Chapter of the Year award two years in a row in the small chapter division.
The Associated General Contractors of America recognizes three of its 89 chapters annually that have developed exceptional programming and achieved tangible accomplishments, like impactful legislation and workforce development efforts.
