FLC Event with UNL / UNO AGC Student ChaptersAGC Nebraska's Future Leaders Council hosted the UNL & UNO AGC Student Chapters for a unique mix of education and fun during a recent outing that combined an underground tour of Martin Marietta’s Weeping Water Mine with a social afternoon at Smash Park La Vista. The day offered a rare opportunity to see one of Nebraska’s largest limestone operations up close, followed by time to unwind and connect as a group.
Underground at Martin Marietta’s Weeping Water Mine The event began in Weeping Water, where Martin Marietta operates one of the region’s most impressive underground limestone mines. After a safety briefing and donning protective gear, the group descended into the mine via school bus, which immediately conveyed the scale and engineering behind modern aggregate production. The mine’s operations offered insight into how vital partnerships between contractors and material suppliers keep the state’s infrastructure strong. By the time everyone emerged back into daylight, there was a collective sense of appreciation for the workers who spend their days underground and for the intricate process that supports every building and roadway above the surface. Fun and Networking at Smash Park La Vista After the tour, the group shifted gears at Smash Park La Vista for food, games, friendly competition and relaxed networking. The venue provided something for everyone - pickleball courts, axe-throwing, duckpin bowling, darts, and plenty of space for conversation. The casual setting helped foster meaningful connections among members and students. A Day to Remember Combining the Weeping Water Mine tour with an afternoon at Smash Park turned out to be the perfect mix of learning, networking, and fun. The tour gave everyone a better understanding of the materials and people that drive Nebraska’s construction industry, while the social time strengthened the connection between the FLC and the AGC student chapters.

Rueter's RAKA Rentals Tredz Central USI Insurance Services Van Kirk Brothers Contracting Washington, D.C.AGC Nebraska Executive Director, Katie Wilson, along with Chapter President, Rob Wemhoff, and Chapter President-elect, Julie Budnick, attended the 2025 Transportation Construction Coalition Fly-In in our Nation’s capital May 6th – 8th. The TCC is a partnership of 34 national associations and labor unions representing hundreds of thousands of individuals with a direct market interest in federal transportation programs. AGC of America and ARTBA co-chair the TCC.
Having attended the TCC Fly-in a few years ago, Katie found the support of the industry to be refreshing. Both the House and the Senate goals are to build “Big Beautiful Roads and Bridges”. The main purpose of the trip was to advocate for the Highway Trust Fund and show support for an improved Surface Transportation Program, which expires on September 30, 2026.
We will continue to monitor the progress of the House and Senate as they work to draft the next Surface Transportation bill. February 12-13, 2025 - Embassy Suites, Lincoln, NEWOW! What a great week at our 2025 Annual Convention.
Tuesday started off with speed interviews for the 17 Central Community College - Hastings Heavy Equipment Operator Technician Program students and nine of our member companies. Students enjoyed learning more about the work that our members do and are looking forward to locking in their summer jobs / careers. Jake Thompson led day 2 of his Competitive Leadership Training course with 13 of our members. At the Board Meeting, our 2025 Board of Directors was approved. You can see that list here. The evening ended with our Past Presidents' Dinner, sponsored by Paulsen, Inc.. It is always a wonderful meal shared with faces, current and past, of the AGC Nebraska Board of Directors. Wednesday truly kicked off the 2025 Annual Convention. The weather didn't stop many members from making their way to Lincoln. Alex Etchen, Vice President of Government Relations at AGC of America, joined our Member Meeting and Lunch to give a run down of what we can expect from the new administration in D.C.. We recognized Tyler Chicoine, Garcia-Chicoine Enterprises, Inc., with the V.C.S. Award for his vision, commitment and service to our industry. Our Honorary Members list grew by three, with the additions of Peggy Shalla (All Road Barricades, Inc.), Terry Rogers (Martin Marietta), and Jay Johnson (Martin Marietta). The 2025 Most Likes Social Media Award was given to Aaron Hansen (Dustrol, Inc.) for a video on our Tik Tok that received 38,000 views. We also recognized two of the three CCC-Hastings students who received our scholarship, and one UNL student who received our scholarship. As the evening crept towards the PAC Auction, our record crowd continued to grow. This year, we added a silent auction and loaded cooler raffle to our Live PAC Auction schedule. All three went over very well. The 2025 PAC Auction was a huge success, raising over $108,000 and cursing the previous record by $30,000. We are blown away by the support from the PAC Committee, Gene Lilly Surety Bonds, Inc., the item donors, the bidders, the auctioneers (Purple Wave Auction), and all who attended. Thursday started with a delicious breakfast and informative address from Director Kramer. As breakout sessions and committee meetings started, the anticipation for our Keynote Speaker, Manley Feinberg, grew. Kirk Barnes Construction, Inc. was the sponsor who made securing this speaker possible. His message about trust, leadership and fearlessness was well-received by all. The day concluded with a Happy Hour surrounding our Associate Expo booths. Gold Sponsors:
