Jeff Gibson, who grew up in the shadow of AGC of Texas, has been elected president-elect of the 700-member association.
Jeff remembers attending AGC of Texas events with his father, Bill Gibson (and his mother Pat) and hearing his dad emphasize the importance of participating in the association. The younger Gibson mentioned fond memories of AGC fish-fry gatherings in the chapter parking lot.
Jeff is president of Gibson & Associates.
“I'm fiercely, fiercely protective of AGC, and I take a lot of pride in being a member of the association whose mission statement is ‘skill, integrity and responsibility.’ And I think it's something that we all take a lot of pride in - here in this room,” he told colleagues during the January board of directors meeting.
He remembers his father disagreeing with industry colleagues who reaped the benefits of AGC of Texas without becoming members. His father’s perspective had an impact on his son.
“When I bought SCR, the first thing I did for them was join AGC. And the first thing I did for Mels Electric when we bought them was join AGC. So it's a big part of not just our business, but my life. And so I'm very appreciative of the opportunity to serve," Gibson said.
He will become president of the association next January.
