Description

Chicagoland AGC looks forward to hosting this year's Virtual Spring Summit at noon on May 26th.  Join us as we honor this year's CAGC Safety Awards Program winners, network via Zoom, and hear a compelling keynote case study of an Indiana State Fair canopy collapse.  Kurt Hoigard, President of Raths, Raths & Johnson, will outline the deficiencies RRJ discovered during a detailed post-analysis that combined to cause this tragedy and how it could have been avoided.

As an advocate for safe construction performance, CAGC operates its Safety Awards program to recognize General and Specialty contractors for outstanding safety performance. In addition to announcing Safety Recognition recipients, awards will be presented in Safety Excellence, Safety Improvement, and Excellence in Innovation categories.

A licensed PE in more than 30 states, Kurt is a Fellow of ASTM International and received both his Master of Science and Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Illinois Institute of Technology.
