Instead of coming up on stage at the National Academy of Construction’s annual meeting in Boston this year, I joined 36 industry leaders on the group’s virtual stage on Oct. 29. The industry leaders for the Class of 2020 were selected to build the academy’s body of expertise, and I was there to receive the Ted C. Kennedy Award.
The inductees are people with amazing accomplishments in engineering, construction management, education, craft leadership and more. The academy, now with 358 members, honors leaders acknowledged as experts who also are ready to serve the nation.
