The Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) recently announced its new officers. Joseph Jarboe, senior vice president of Bethesda, Md.-based Clark Construction Group, will serve as president; Paul Diederich, president of West Fargo, N.D.-based Industrial Builders Inc., will serve as senior vice president; Alan Landes, president and COO of St. Joseph, Mo.-based Herzog Contracting Corp. will serve as vice president; and David Hanson, senior vice president of Detroit-based Walbridge, will serve as treasurer.

“Our economy is hopefully on the rebound and exciting new technologies are changing the face of our industry,” said Jarboe, AGC’s new president. “By working together and building effective connections, we can ensure that the construction industry will help build a better future for America.”

As president, Jarboe will lead the officers in a national effort to improve the productivity of the nation’s construction companies, oversee the group’s advocacy efforts on behalf of the industry and help builders weather today’s challenging economic conditions. The officers will serve in these positions until March 2013, at which point Diederich will move into the position of president.
