Honoring Safety Excellence

Join AGCVA for a powerful gathering dedicated to what matters most—keeping our people safe. The Virginia BEST Safety Summit & Summer Conference brings together industry leaders, safety professionals, and member companies for meaningful conversations, shared learning, and well-deserved recognition.

This year’s event proudly celebrates our Virginia BEST members with a special recognition ceremony honoring their commitment to building and maintaining exceptional safety cultures across the Commonwealth.

Attendees will engage in a dynamic agenda featuring timely safety content, an interactive safety roundtable designed to spark real-world solutions, and tabletop safety exhibits showcasing tools, innovations, and best practices you can take back to your jobsites immediately.

In addition, AGCVA will host its Summer Board of Directors Meeting, continuing the important work of advancing the industry and supporting our members.

Whether you’re looking to strengthen your safety program, connect with peers, or recognize the leaders setting the standard, this is an event you won’t want to miss.

Generational Golf


Step onto the course for a one-of-a-kind experience that brings generations together. The Generational Golf Tournament is designed to celebrate the connections that shape both our lives and our industry—pairing parents, children, and family members for a relaxed and memorable day on the course.

Open to any generational duo—father/son, father/daughter, mother/son, mother/daughter, or other meaningful pairings—this event is all about camaraderie, friendly competition, and creating lasting memories.

The tournament will feature a casual 9-hole format with staggered tee times over the course of an hour, allowing teams to enjoy the round at a comfortable pace while still wrapping up in time for the evening reception. With a limited number of team spots available, the experience will feel intimate, intentional, and focused on connection.

Whether you’re introducing the next generation to the game or enjoying time with someone who helped shape your path, Generational Golf offers a unique opportunity to strengthen relationships on and off the course.

Stay tuned—more details, including registration and format specifics, will be announced soon. Be sure to check that you are interested in golfing when registering.
