The Rhode Island Chapter of the Associated General Contractors (RIAGC) will hold its annual golf tournament to raise scholarship funds for R.I. students pursuing a construction industry-related career on May 19.
This year the union-supported Industry Advancement Fund, for which the RIAGC is trustee, is sponsoring the event. Each year, RIAGC uses the tournament proceeds to fund a major donation to the R.I. Building Industry Scholarship Fund. The fund is supported by a coalition of construction industry associations. In addition to the RIAGC, participating construction industry associations include the R.I. chapters of the Construction Specifications Institute, American Institute of Architects, National Association of Women in Construction, Construction Financial Management Association, Subcontractors Association and Society of Professional Engineers. The fund provides scholarships up to $10,000 to help several students each year in construction-related higher education programs, such as construction management, engineering and architecture.
The day's events at the Warwick Country Club will include a buffet lunch, the afternoon golf tournament and a putting contest as well as an evening reception, equipment raffle and awards ceremony. To register for the tournament, call the RIAGC office at (401) 454-1990.
