AGC Spring Conference Set for
May 13-14

Plans are well under way for AGC of California's 2004 Spring Conference, to be held May 13-14 at the Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa on Cannery Row in Monterey. This year's theme is Aspiring! Growing! Climbing! to New Heights.

This year's conference will feature a new two-day format that concludes on Friday evening.

The educational program has been reformatted as a professional development luncheon focused on offering attendees new tools to succeed professionally and personally. Motivational speaker Larry Bonine will lead this special program.

Planned events during the Spring Conference include the Der Wunderbar BierGarten (The Wonderful Beer Garden) Welcome Reception, on Thursday, May 13, and Evening in the Alps Reception and Dinner on May 14. Optional sporting events include the golf classic and croquet tournament, a leisurely bike tour by the bay and a kayak tour.

AGC will hold its board meetings just prior to the conference. The Joint Engineering Division and the Building Division will meet on Wednesday afternoon, May 12, and the State Board of Directors will meet Thursday morning, May 13.

Spring conference sponsorship opportunities are still available by calling Cristi Harris, AGC manager of conferences and meetings, at (916) 371-2422. Additional details and registration materials are also available by visiting AGC online at www.agc-ca.org.
