 Lean Construction Series Offered This Fall (Virtual)
The Lean Construction Series is finally available in Minnesota this fall! Held for short periods three days per week from October 27-December 11, the series follows a schedule created with busy professionals in mind.
Our pilot series this fall will be a smaller cohort (maximum 14 participants), and will be offered at a significant discount. All sessions will be held via Zoom.
This AGC certificate program consists of seven units. Following the completion of all seven units, individuals will have a deep knowledge of both the theory and application of Lean Construction. Additionally, participants will be prepared to sit for the exam to earn AGC's Certificate of Management - Lean Construction (CM-Lean) credential. This course is designed for participants at all experience levels with Lean, including beginners.
A subsequent CM-Lean cohort will begin in January, 2021.

Nominations are Open for 2020 MnDOT/AGC Bridge Awards
2020 has certainly changed everyone's lives, but while the world has been changed, bridges are still being built with quality that deserves recognition. It is time for the 19th Annual Bridge Construction Awards nominations. MnDOT, MnDOT State Aid, and the AGC Bridge Committee want to recognize high quality bridge construction projects that have been opened to traffic in 2019 and 2020. Awards will be given in three different categories again this year- bridges under $1.5 million, between $1.5 and $5 million, and over $5 million.
Please contact your MnDOT or other owner project engineer and encourage them to submit a nomination if you believe there is a bridge project that should be considered for recognition. Applications by district/project engineers are due to the MnDOT Bridge Office by October 9th, 2020. The rating panel will select the best projects and present the awards at the AGC/MnDOT Bridge Office semi-annual meeting in spring of 2021.
