Shayne Lovato, Estimator at GCON, sat on a panel discussion with the American Subcontractors Association. The lunch event, attended by over 60 subcontractors, was an incredible learning experience. ASA’s GC Partners in Construction and friends from ASPE Arizona Chapter Six came together with ASA`s membership to bring the audience the "Bid Day: A Peak Inside the GC War Room." This event featured a panel of experts from GCs, the Trades, and Suppliers, providing a 360-degree view of how crucial decisions are made during the construction process. It was a fantastic opportunity to gain valuable insights from industry leaders!

Panelists included:
• Amber Perez, Signature Projects
• Rich Gohl, Sundt
• Robert Thompson, Hensel Phelps
• Shayne Lovato, GCON
• Arun Ghosh, Willmeng

ASU’s Coordinator of Student Recruitment and Engagement for The Del E. Webb School of Construction, Abby Still and GCON’s Talent Acquisition Specialist, Jenna Everist, visited Highland High School to speak to their Advanced Engineering classes.

Mr. Curtis Willems was gracious enough to welcome the group into two of his classes to speak about ASU’s Construction Management Program and GCON’s involvement in the program and construction industry. The students had a competition where they broke out into teams and were instructed to build a structure out of tape and dry spaghetti noodles that had to be strong enough to hold a large marshmallow.

Thank you to Abby and ASU for including GCON, Curtis and Highland High School for hosting, and especially the students for being so involved!

GCON Gives hosted their annual Fall Poker Run at the Boulders Recreation Area on Hwy. 74 last week. With 28 vehicles participating and over 100 participants, it was a day of fun, sun and plenty of smiles.

With over 20 sponsorships, we were able to raise $20,000 that was donated to the 100 Club, whose mission is to provide immediate financial assistance to the dependent families of peace officers and firefighters who are killed or seriously injured in the line of duty and to provide life-saving equipment to local law enforcement agencies.

Thank you to all who participated this year and an extra thank you to all the GCON staff who helped make this year’s event happen.

One of the benefits of having offices located nationwide is being able to have a larger reach for recruitment. It was all hands-on deck last week at the Oregon State University Fall Civil, Construction & Architectural Engineering career fair. Several team members from our Oregon office and corporate headquarters teamed up to speak to possible recruits for GCON!

To all of our employees that go the extra mile, thank you for being a part of #teamGCON! 🤗

This year’s conference centered on embracing inclusion within the industry, integrating DEI into company practices, and handling challenging conversations around DEI.
