The Las Vegas Chapter of the Associated General Contractors and the Nevada Contractors Association will share staff, finances, leadership and resources under a recently announced partnership agreement. The new group will represent more than 700 union and nonunion general contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and affiliated firms.
Sean Stewart has been named executive vice president of the new entity. He previously was general counsel and vice president for the southwest region of Aggregate Industries. “This alliance gives us the resources needed to continue serving the hard-hit construction industry, ensuring its recovery and future prosperity,” Stewart said in a news release. The newly aligned associations will be headquartered at 150 N. Durango Dr., Suite 100, in Las Vegas. The new structure will consolidate political lobbying efforts, but allow the two groups to retain their brand identities and their own board of directors. Both boards will add new positions for representatives from the other group.
The Las Vegas chapter of AGC was chartered in 1988 as a subsidiary of the Associated General Contractors of America, which represents more than 35,000 firms and 100 chapters. NCA was created in 1995 to support the local construction industry. The group works closely with building trades leadership and various government agencies to ensure a level playing field for union contractors.
