AGC Houston Stands with the Texas Hill Country 

 

Our thoughts are with our neighbors in the Texas Hill Country and beyond as they face the devastating effects of recent flooding. AGC Houston stands in solidarity with the communities and first responders working around the clock to respond, rescue, recover, and rebuild.

If you are looking to support those impacted by the disaster, the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country’s Kerr County Flood Relief Fund and the San Angelo Area Foundation are trusted sources whose donations are directed toward vetted local rescue, relief, and rebuilding efforts. 

 

Employer Resources and Best Practices for Handling Immigration Enforcement at the Jobsite 

 

Immigration enforcement can create complex legal and operational challenges for employers, making it crucial to have clear procedures in place to handle such situations appropriately and lawfully.

 

We understand that these developments may cause concern within our industry, and we want you to know that we’re here to support you. To help, we’ve gathered resources and best practices on our website to address these issues and provide guidance for both employers and employees.

Your AGC Houston membership isn't just for one person, it's for everyone at your company. That's why it's important for us to have accurate contact information for your whole team. If your company has experienced staffing changes, new hires, or updated emails, now is the perfect time to make sure we have the correct information on file. 

 

We rely on accurate company information to keep your team in the loop. Keeping your information up to date ensures that everyone on your team has access to the many resources, events, classes, and opportunities that come with your AGC Houston membership.
