[AGC announces leadership program graduates

The Nevada Chapter of the Associated General Contractors of America has implemented the New Leadership Series Program in an effort to prepare professionals in the construction field for future challenges. Graduates from this first class were recently named by AGC President Greg Willcut:

Brian Barger, Marcie Walker, Troy Gray and Brick Brasher, WES Construction Co.; Christiaan Hofmann and Vince Goicoechea, Sierra Pacific Power Co.; Cory Jennings, Building Solutions; Darcy Wagner, Sierra Nevada Construction; David Jones, Robert Morris, Scott Gescheider and David Miller, Moana Nursery; Dustin Thelen, Gray & Associates; Jason Clack, PAR Electric Co.; John Roelle, RHP Mechanical; Robert Schenck, Krump Construction; and Ryan Horning, Gradex Construction Co.

This was a great program and completely worth the extensive commitment outside of work. Admittedly, it is not a comprehensive course on leadership. It did present a valuable set of communication, awareness, and team-building skills during a series of well-structured night-classes.

I am thankful to Allen Gray for recommending me to this program and for the Gray & Associates team for sponsoring me.

Dustin Thelen
