Associated General Contractors of Minnesota (AGC of Minnesota) is seeking a visionary, collaborative, and strategic leader to serve as its next Chief Executive Officer.
Applications will be accepted through March 20, 2026, with finalist interviews conducted in April, 2026.

The association is supported by a dedicated professional staff of eight full-time and three part-time employees and operates with an annual budget of approximately $3.4 million, supported by a strong and well-managed investment portfolio.
In addition to its core association activities, AGC of Minnesota provides leadership and oversight for affiliated entities, including the AGC of Minnesota Foundation and a state political action committee, further advancing workforce development, advocacy, and industry engagement.
AGC of Minnesota leases its headquarters in St. Paul, which underwent a complete renovation in 2025, including the development of a state-of-the-art training center. The office is conveniently located one block from the Minnesota State Capitol, reinforcing the association’s active role in legislative and regulatory advocacy.
This is a rare opportunity to lead a highly respected, financially sound, and forward-thinking industry association at a pivotal moment of transition and growth. The next CEO will build on a strong foundation while shaping the future of Minnesota’s commercial construction industry.
