By Ben Morris, Chair of Build & Serve Committee, Foley & Lardner LLP - Published in Monday Morning Quarterback - January 29, 2024 As we navigate the challenges of today's world, the importance of community support and collaboration has never been more evident. At AGC San Diego, we take pride in our commitment to making a positive impact on the San Diego community through our Build & Serve Committee. As the new chair of this committee, I am excited to share with you the incredible benefits of being involved and our group's transformative power. Our Mission: Building and Serving Together The Build & Serve Committee is not just a group; it's a force for good. Our dual focus on SERVE and BUILD projects allows us to give back in meaningful ways. Through SERVE projects, we contribute our time and dedication to local causes, fostering a sense of community and shared responsibility. BUILD projects, on the other hand, involve our members providing valuable resources, supplies, and personpower to support projects that make a lasting impact. Who We Are: A Community of Contractors and Affiliates Our committee is a diverse blend of contractors and affiliates deeply rooted in the local community. We understand our community's unique needs and challenges, and we are passionate about being part of the solution. AGC San Diego is a melting pot of expertise, and we want more members to join us in channeling that expertise into projects that benefit those who need it most. Past Successes: A Legacy of Giving Over the years, the Build & Serve Committee has proudly supported various individuals and organizations. From granting wishes with Make-a-Wish to supporting and beautifying Ronald McDonald House, we have touched the lives of families and their kids. By supporting projects with Polinsky Children's Center, San Diego Blood Bank, Construction vs. Cancer, Computers 2 Kids, San Diego Burn Institute, San Diego Humane Society, and I Love A Clean San Diego, among others, we have benefited seniors, animals, children, and the environment in San Diego. Why Join? The Rewards of Involvement Being part of the Build & Serve Committee is not just about giving; it's about receiving a sense of fulfillment, camaraderie, and pride. Here's what you stand to gain: 1. Meaningful Connections: Connect with like-minded individuals who share your passion for making a difference in San Diego. 2. Skill Development: Hone your leadership and teamwork skills by actively participating in the planning and execution of impactful projects. 3. Community Impact: Witness the direct impact of your efforts on the lives of those we serve and the community as a whole. 4. Networking Opportunities: Expand your professional network within AGC San Diego and the broader community. How You Can Get Involved We are actively seeking new members for the Build & Serve Committee to contribute their ideas, skills, and enthusiasm in planning and managing our projects. Additionally, we are looking to expand our pool of volunteers from the AGC membership who can provide crucial support for our initiatives and projects. If you are ready to make a difference and be part of a community committed to building a better San Diego, join us! Together, we can create positive change that resonates far beyond the boundaries of our committee. For more information or to express your interest, please contact Marcy Knopman by email or phone (858) 558-7444 ext. 209. Let's build and serve together for a brighter future for San Diego! I look forward to seeing you at our next meeting.
