One of the premier assignments for ENR editors is writing the profile of the Award of Excellence winner, says Tom Sawyer, the ENR senior editor who wrote this year's story.
Sawyer nominated Traylor Bros. project manager Wayne E. Jones for consideration as an ENR Newsmaker last fall and then championed him for the top award in December. In the competitive selection process, all ENR editors vote for the newsmaker who has best served the industry and the public.
