Georgia Hispanic Construction Association

What Georgia Hispanic Construction Association does

Georgia Hispanic Construction Association (GHCA) is a nonprofit trade association founded in 2012 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. It serves Hispanic-owned and Hispanic-affiliated construction businesses across the state, with membership tiers for trade subcontractors, general contractors, industry professionals (architects, engineers, project managers, surveyors), and associate/supplier members. The organization positions itself as the primary advocacy and business-development platform for the Hispanic construction community in Georgia, providing a structured pipeline of education, networking, and matchmaking between small/minority subcontractors and large general contractors actively seeking diverse business partners.

GHCA's offering is organized around three pillars: Education (Construction Business Academy, a 10-week training series covering project controls, construction management, marketing, finance, bonding, bidding, and safety certifications; Vision 360 expert panels; STEPS Spanish-language safety training; and OSHA 10/30 courses), Business Development (Meet & Greet networking events, the How to Do Business Series with major general contractors, and formal/informal matchmaking), and signature annual events (the Building Georgia Awards Gala, GHCA Golf Tournament at Bear's Best Atlanta, and the Mundialito soccer event). The Latinas in Construction business resource group extends programming to women in the trades. Member-facing technology is built on the GrowthZone association management platform, supporting member directories, event registration, job postings, a hot deals marketplace, and member-to-member offers; GHCA does not develop proprietary software.

Revenue is generated from three streams: recurring annual membership dues priced $250-$1,200 per tier by company type and revenue band, education and training program fees (e.g., OSHA 10 at $180 member / $260 non-member), and event sponsorship and ticket sales from signature events. Distribution is event-driven and community-led, supplemented by the GHCA website, email communications, social media, and direct staff outreach, with a roster of more than 20 named annual enterprise sponsors including Brasfield & Gorrie, McCarthy Building Companies, Holder Construction, Georgia Power, Southern Company Gas, Whitecap, Yancey Bros., Fulcro Insurance, Atlanta Housing, and Balfour Beatty.

• Associated General Contractors of Georgia: Broad incumbent Georgia construction trade association serving general contractors of all backgrounds. Comparable in being a state-level construction membership organization, but without GHCA's Hispanic-community specialization.

Regional players

• Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Georgia: Georgia-based Hispanic business chamber. Comparable in geographic focus and Hispanic business community service, but covers all industries rather than specializing in construction.
