AGC Georgia Names BSCI Alum New Board of Directors President
Joe Tuggle, 1982 graduate of Auburn’s McWhorter School of Building Science (BSCI), has been elected chapter president of the Associated General Contractors of Georgia (AGC Georgia), the leading statewide association for the construction industry.
Tuggle is president of Peachtree City-based Tuggle Construction, a general contractor working in the industrial and commercial markets.
AGC Georgia is a professional trade association and the statewide chapter affiliated with The Associated General Contractors of America Inc. (AGC of America). AGC Georgia member firms perform a majority of the public and private commercial construction work in Georgia and include nearly 650 of the top construction industry professionals statewide.
Active within AGC Georgia since 1990, Tuggle has contributed to various organization committees and task forces and served on the AGC Georgia board of directors for the past seven years. A strong supporter of workforce development, he previously spearheaded the Central Georgia Skills Challenge for Georgia high school students.
“As board president of AGC Georgia, I am committed to leveraging my experience and passion for the construction industry to drive positive change, foster collaboration and advance the interests of our members and the community at large,” Tuggle said of his goals in his new post. “I look forward to working closely with my fellow board members and industry professionals to uphold AGC Georgia’s mission of promoting excellence and innovation in construction across our state.”

After graduating from Auburn, Tuggle embarked on a career as a general contractor and worked with multiple construction companies before founding Tuggle Construction in 2021. Beyond his professional endeavors, he also established The Tuggle Construction Foundation to address various community needs. The foundation supports local elementary school lunch accounts, provides grocery and rideshare gift cards as a resource to families identified by school administrators and social workers and contributes to the Midwest Food Bank Georgia Division.
“Joe Tuggle’s extensive experience, demonstrated leadership and commitment to both the construction industry and community make him an excellent choice for board president,” said AGC Georgia CEO Mike Dunham. “His long-standing involvement with our association, coupled with his dedication to workforce development and community support through initiatives like The Tuggle Construction Foundation, exemplify the qualities needed to drive our association forward.”
